This FREE public tour is given and developed around the theme of "GETTING TO KNOW THE ARTIST" by Bevan Breaux. On this tour, get the inside scoop. The guide will share their experience meeting artists who have their work in the WAM collection to offer a behind the scenes biographical perspective on the work. This tour is dialogue and activity-based, meaning visitors will speak as much or more than facilitators. Be ready to participate!

On this FREE tour, explore works of art in the museum which fit the theme of "Nature/Made". Artists often use nature-made objects in their work to connect with the natural world, explore environmental themes, or incorporate organic elements into their artistic expression. Nature-made objects can include everything from found materials like rocks, shells, and branches to organic substances like mud, leaves, and feathers. Consider the relationship between the subject matter of a piece and the natural world, the materials used to make art, and where those materials are found.

Este tour público GRATUITO se imparte y desarrolla en torno al tema "MEMORIA Y NOSTALGIA" desarrollado por José Miguel Manrique. Aunque cada uno de nosotros tenemos historias únicas, hay elementos ocultos que conectan nuestros pasados y las emociones que sentimos. Con actividades de dibujo rápido y observación centradas en tres piezas de arte, veremos qué partes de nuestras vidas trascienden a una narrativa universal. Este tour será hablado en español.
