In recognition of Veterans Day, the Art Center is offering a free guided tour titled “Sailor, Soldier, Airman, Artist.” Join us for this themed tour that asks the question, “How did the military experience influence mid-century modern artists?” with artist features such as Ellsworth Kelly (WWII), Sam Francis (WWII), or b. Robert Moore (son of a Vietnam veteran).
Public guided tours are offered every Saturday from 1 – 2 pm. Free; no registration required.
