Are you someone who speeds through an art gallery? Do you like art but sometimes feel intimidated by going to see it in a museum? Maybe art museums aren’t your thing at all or you feel like no one’s ever taught you how to look at art.

You know who wouldn’t let any of that stop them from finding a way to enjoy artworks?

Pirates, that’s who!

I’ll bring my interdisciplinary, piratical “down with these broken limiting beliefs!” approach to this hour where we’ll do some close looking and unexpected exercises to each find our own ways of engaging with art.
