About
Take an afternoon art break to look, share, and connect with others. Eyes on Art, a new online program at the ICA for individuals 65+, encourages deep looking at a single work of art from the ICA’s permanent collection. Led by ICA Gallery Educators, participants share their observations and interpretations in this 45-minute exercise of close looking. This program will encourage you to slow down and reconsider sometimes familiar artworks with fresh eyes, as we celebrate the ICA’s 90-year anniversary. No art knowledge and experience needed to participate — only your eyes and willingness to embrace new observations. This is not a lecture program. While this program is designed for individuals 65+, adults of all ages are welcome.
Registration for this online program series is required to receive web links. Discussions will be live on Zoom and will not be recorded. Registration includes access to upcoming fall season discussions (October–December).
The ICA thanks the City of Boston’s Age Strong Commission for their collaboration on this online program series.
