In this monthly gallery experience, the Clark invites visitors to look contemplatively as a way to engage with works of art from the museum’s collection.
With a gentle tone that encourages investigation and audience participation, the group explores one or two artworks with the help of a museum educator, working together to explore its meaning, find understanding, and raise questions. Distinct from a conventional gallery talk, Reflections provides an opportunity for close-looking and introspection, the museum says.
