Did you know most of what museums hold in their vaults is never put on display in exhibition galleries to be viewed by the public? The Great Unseen, a new exhibition presented by the McMaster Museum of Art, changes that by bringing rarely shown works, new acquisitions, and contemporary Black and diasporic voices into view.
As part of the Africa and Black Diaspora Studies Seminar Series and in partnership with the McMaster Museum of Art, join curator Christina Leslie, artists Aaron Jones and Janice Reid and moderator Stacy Creech de Castro for a lunchtime panel on what it means to make the unseen visible. Together, they’ll share stories, ideas, and perspectives that expand how we think about art, identity, and creativity. Lunch is provided—feed your curiosity, and be part of the conversation.
Join artist Charlene Vickers as she blends layers of sound using a bass guitar, synthesizers and voice recordings to amplify the artists’ exploration of bodily presence as both rooted and transient within the Anishinaabe Kwe-Human Being-Body-Sound maker. Presented as part of the Ascending Horizons exhibition.
Join M(M)A staff for a tour of the current exhibition Ascending Horizons, followed by a hands-on collage button making workshop with M(M)A Information Assistant, local artist and McMaster Fine Art alum PauTheRebel. Space is limited – register here.
Join us for this free creative workshop and discover tools to shift your mindset, enhance your thinking, and elevate your mood to reimagine and take actionable steps toward your future.
Join us on Thursday, January 30th for an opening reception celebrating Ascending Horizons. Everyone is welcome!
Sketching Thursdays in the museum are back! Join us for unguided, weekly sketching sessions inspired by work in the M(M)A collection. Beginning in person starting September 8th, 4:30-6:30pm. No registration required and shared art supplies provided.
