A docent-led, twenty-minute tour of the galleries is available at 6:30 pm. Gallery admission is free on Friday.

Learn with local artists as they lead informal basic drawing classes in the galleries. This free class is open to adults at all skill levels—just bring a sketchbook and pencils. Registration is not required, but participants should sign in at the information desk. 2-3:30 pm

Two sessions of this free program are offered, one for ages 5 to 8 and one for ages 9 to 12. Each session is led by an artist who takes participants through informal drawing exercises in relation to works in the Modern’s galleries. Children under the age of 6 must be accompanied by an adult during the program. Bring a sketchbook and pencils. Attendance is limited, so early arrival is encouraged.

Modern members are invited to this annual shopping event featuring local designers, live jazz, complimentary wine and light bites. Members receive an extra 10% off all regularly priced items.

The Modern and twelve other area institutions will celebrate teachers during this year’s Educator Evening in the Cultural District. During this event, view current exhibitions at each Cultural District institution, network with other educators, enjoy great food, learn about educational programs, and receive free classroom resources. Administrators, homeschool educators, librarians, PreK–12 teachers at public and private schools, preservice teachers, and university faculty are welcome. No reservations are needed.

Our so-called “pillow talk” is so much about what we do. Not the specifics of how we make our work or what happened in the studio today as much as what it’s like to move your work from your mind to the studio to the world and, like, what exactly are we doing being artists in the 21st century? Laurie Simmons, interview with Sheila Heti for Interview magazine, March 4, 2014

There is also something to be said for zooming out from the granular political immediacies and considering the bigger picture. . . .
