M&G Update: An Un-Museum Tour 

Saturday, October  12 at 11AM. 1 PM, 2PM, 3PM, 4PM

Location: Meet at M&G’s front doors (on campus)

Since closing its doors in 2017, M&G has still pursued its mission of using its Old Master collection to touch the whole person—mind, heart, and soul. The museum staff have been hard at work preserving and sharing the collection, pursuing a new building off campus, and serving thousands annually through ongoing programming for children and adults. For a glimpse of the work behind dismantling a collection to move, take a tour through the process with Executive Director, Erin Jones.

Free Event–must register in advance to attend.

The following expectations apply:

  • Advance registration is required. Register HERE.
  • Tour groups are limited to 25 people.
  • Attendees must be 12 years of age or older.
  • There are no public restrooms available within the building.

 

M&G Kids: Adventures in Art

For kids K5-8th grade

Sessions at: 11AM, 11:30AM, 12 Noon, and 12:30PM

Location: Lobby of Rodeheaver Auditorium

M&G’s summer art day camp, Museum on the Move, Homeschool Days, and Cultural Discovery Tours cultivate curiosity and creative thinking in children through art! Bring your K5-8th grade student to sample M&G’s interactive and engaging arts integrated programming! Your child will take part in a mini-lesson in art history in which we’ll introduce two significant and influential artists, Sandro Botticelli and Guido Reni. We’ll get a taste of what life was like for these painters and discover how their experiences affected their art making. To finish our time together kids will begin a mini-masterpiece of their own, replicating one of the masters’ works.

Free Event–must register in advance to attend. Register HERE

Class Limit: 25 students
