K-12 groups may add a hands-on, art-making workshop to their Guided Visit. Through this combined experience, students will spend half of their museum visit with a Gallery Teacher in the galleries and half of their time engaging in art-making in our studio art space – The Bank of America Art Lab. Students will participate in thematic, multimodal lessons while looking at works on view and have the opportunity to experiment with different art-making techniques inspired by the current Art Lab installation.
Guided visits with Art Lab workshops for K-12 groups are available on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. A maximum of 40 students can be accommodated per visit. A Guided Visit with an Art Lab workshop lasts approximately two hours and fifteen minutes, including arrival and check-in. Your visit request must be received at least three weeks in advance.
Art Lab Workshops 2023-2024
Destiny Doorways (opening February 10)
Boston artist Mithsuca Berry’s Bank of America Art Lab installation, Destiny Doorways, brings together imagery from nature, vibrant color, and written word. On the walls are doorways that reveal a message and invite participants to reflect on a new journey to transformation. Students are asked to reflect on prompts including “What do you hope the future will look like?” while creating a mixed media artwork using some of Mithsuca’s favorite mediums like paint, textiles, and poetry.
