Art Break: Where or When (Things Past) by Gertrude Abercrombie

Art Break programs are grounded in the practice of slow looking, an educational approach that asks people to give patient, immersive attention to a work of art as a way to make connections and create meaning for yourself. These looking experiences are facilitated by museum staff, interns, community collaborators, and special guests.

This week, Kendall DeBoer, assistant curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, will facilitate a conversation on Where or When (Things Past) by Gertrude Abercrombie.
