A Year in Arty Facts:

October: The Museum’s collections will inspire you to imagine and create new worlds while exploring color and other elements of art.

November: Explore how artists mix, combine, transform, and rearrange objects and ideas to create.

December: As the weather cools and the days grow shorter, observe how artists use light, and make your own bright artwork.

January: Explore gesture and expression in the galleries, then create your own art. This month will feature our special exhibitions Eva Hesse Spectres 1960, Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties, and HIDE/SEEK: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture.

February: Discover how the art in African Innovations connects with other artworks in the Museum’s galleries.

March: Brooklyn artists can be found everywhere in the Museum! Learn about the art, history, and culture of our borough.

April: Find connections between pieces in Luce Visible Storage and other artworks on display throughout the Museum.
