Film Series | Workshops | Tours All programs described on our website are free of charge and open to the public unless otherwise noted. Gallery Talks Popular gallery talks are designed to give visitors an orientation and overview of an exhibition. Offered by the Museum Director, artists, scholars and guest curators, talks provide insight into various aspects of the exhibition as well as its overall theme. Featured artists always appear in conjunction with their exhibitions and talks are open and informal, with ample opportunity for audience interaction and participation. Lectures and Symposia Lectures and symposia on topics related to each special exhibition are organized with presentations by noted scholars, artists, and curators from Queens College, City University of New York, and other New York City institutions. Notable guest lecturers include curators from the Metropolitan, Brooklyn, and Princeton University Museums of Art, as well as leading contemporary artists and critics. Lectures most often are illustrated with slides and are more formal than gallery talks, focusing on historical or critical topics, with question and discussion periods following presentations. Symposia are often interdisciplinary and thematic, and include scholars from different fields who present papers on various aspects of a special exhibition. Discussion sessions and receptions in which guests can interact with participants follow formal presentations.Film Series With the Annemarie Schwarzenbach exhibition, the Museum inaugurated a film program, in which both documentary and feature-length films provide another medium and point of view related to an artist’s biography, working process, artworks, and the content and themes of an exhibition. An introduction and commentary by critics and scholars of media studies often accompanies the films.Workshops Workshops led by artists, educators, and other professionals are often held in collaboration with departments and centers on campus, to allow hands-on experience in art-making or analyzing processes for visitors of all ages. Collaborations have included the Queens College Departments of Art, Education, and Colden Center for the Performing Arts. An on-going relationship with the Lincoln Center Institute for Art in Education offers workshops for teachers on all levels that include curriculum and activity materials. (See EDUCATION)Tours Docent tours are available on a regular basis. Please call for scheduling for each exhibition. Special tours can be arranged for groups and other visitors by appointment. |
