Art for Everyone

Now that the Harvard Art Museums are free every day, what works will you have a conversation with? Maybe your eyes will be drawn to a newly installed work by Nina Chanel Abney or Leonardo Drew, or perhaps you’ll encounter an old favorite in a new way. Our doors are open for you! The museums are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10am–5pm.

AT NIGHT

July At Night

Spend a warm summer night with friends during this month’s Harvard Art Museums at Night, on Thursday, July 27. Visit the exhibitions From the Andes to the Caribbean: American Art from the Spanish Empire and American Watercolors, 1880–1990: Into the Light on Level 3 before mingling in the Calderwood Courtyard to chat over a snack or drink. There’s no better way to stay cool!

GALLERY TALK

Watercolorists’ Techniques

In a July 27 gallery talk inspired by the exhibition American Watercolors,1880–1990, you’ll learn about watercolor cakes, papers, and techniques, such as “wet-into-wet,” “resist,” and “scraping,” with conservator Penley Knipe and curator Miriam Stewart. It might spur you to try experimenting with watercolors at home!
