For Aline Dieu, nothing in the world matters more than music, family, and love. Her powerful and emotional voice captivates everyone who hears it, including successful manager Guy-Claude Kamar, who resolves to do everything in his power to make her a star. As Aline climbs from local phenomenon to bestselling recording artist to international superstar, she embarks on the two great romances of her life: one with the decades-older Guy-Claude and the other with her adoring audiences.
Albert and his beloved horse, Joey, live on a farm in the British countryside. At the outbreak of World War I, Albert and Joey are forcibly parted when Albert's father sells the horse to the British cavalry. Against the backdrop of the Great War, Joey begins an odyssey full of danger, joy and sorrow, and he transforms everyone he meets along the way. Meanwhile Albert, unable to forget his equine friend, searches the battlefields of France to find Joey and bring him home.

The aim of the Slow Art movement is to break with the often frenetic pace of modern life to simply enjoy works of art in a deliberate and unhurried fashion. Slow Art at the Modern invests in this pause with a 30-minute spotlight tour focusing on one work of art
This short, 20-minute tour is narrowly focused around a single theme and is the perfect break from the First Friday action of the Grand Lobby. This tour starts by the information desk. Gallery admission is free on Friday.
Color Studies: A Fresh Look at the Modern’s Permanent Collection is a six-week adult evening studio class with artists Brenda Ciardiello and Hector Ramirez.
This six-week class will examine the language of color within the works on view at the museum. Hector Ramirez and Brenda Ciardiello will lead the class through explorations of color as a conceptual idea and use of color in practical painting.
This class is full.
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. The February session will be led by Micah Yarborough.
Modern educators lead a family-oriented project via a short instructional video designed in relation to works in the Modern’s permanent collection. Click here for the video.
