Takeout Tuesdays: Lunchtime Conversations About Art
The Making of White Tara
Join Docent Larry Mock to explore why White Tara is not merely a pretty face but has been a revered deity in Tibetan Buddhism for nearly 1500 years.
“Take out” a taste of art! Join museum docents and fellow art lovers for interactive lunchtime encounters with selected artworks from the collection. We’ll gather in a Zoom meeting to look closely at compelling works using high-resolution images and learn some fun facts. Each week will focus on a different topic. Simply turn on your microphone to join the discussion.
Closed captions are available. Takeout Tuesdays will be offered every Tuesday while social distancing requirements curtail our on-site programming.
