Family Day: Harmony & Hues

  • Sunday, November 10
  • 10:30 AM - 2:30 PM MT
  • 217 JOHNSON STREET, SANTA FE, NM

Bring the whole family to explore the connections between shapes, abstraction, music, and self-expression!

In 1915, Georgia O’Keeffe began experimenting with circular forms, establishing the shape as a recurring theme in her paintings. Throughout the 1910s and 1940s, O’Keeffe’s use of circular shapes became a way for her to visually express how she was feeling. She would often connect shapes and colors to emotion, memory, and even music. In honor of the exhibition, A Circle That Nothing Can Break, join us to explore the connections between shapes, abstraction, music, and self-expression!
