About
Join us for the last workshop in our fall edition of Barnes Create & Connect, a series designed to support individuals living with Parkinson’s disease and their care partners through meaningful experiences with art and creative expression. Today’s theme is Visual Stories through Van Gogh. Together, we'll look closely at the work of Vincent van Gogh, a world-renowned artist with a storied past, and consider the ways we make meaning in our world.
Presented in partnership with the Parkinson Council, Barnes Create & Connect focuses on connection between participants, with works of art, and through shared moments of reflection and making.
Each session begins in the Barnes galleries, where staff members guide participants through slow-looking exercises, moments of mindfulness, and conversations about selected works. These guided engagements are followed by a hands-on art-making experience led by a teaching artist. Together, staff and participants create a welcoming and supportive space that honors each individual’s pace, perspective, and presence. No prior experience with art is necessary, just an openness to explore, create, and learn.
Workshops take place on select Saturdays from August through October. Light snacks and beverages will be provided. Space is limited, and registration is required.
