Celebrate the creativity of featured Black artists during this month’s Seniors’ Tour as part of our Black History Month programming.
We will make our way through current exhibitions including Ekow Nimako: Building Black Civilizations – Journey of 2,000 Ships and 5 Artists 1 Love, an annual showcase of the talent and diversity of the African diaspora in our city.
This tour is for self-identified seniors and is free with admission. Capacity for the event is 30 so reserve your tickets early.
Seniors’ Tours are offered monthly and organized by the AGA’s Aging Artfully Advisory Committee.
Accessibility notes: We have a whisper audio guide system with headsets available. These wearable transmitters allow visitors to listen to the tour guide without straining to hear or being distracted by ambient noise in the galleries. If you pause to contemplate an artwork longer, you won’t miss what the tour guide says next.
