Schedule a Group Finding Awe Workshop

Request a free 90-minute Finding Awe workshop for your group.

We all have the ability to experience and share more awe with each other. Whether you're a work team seeking a moment to unwind, a community group ready to connect in new ways, or a university class exploring art, museums, or psychology, we invite you to join us for a 90-minute Finding Awe workshop tailored for your group. Take a pause, immerse yourselves with a single work of art, explore awe, and connect deeply with each other.

•    For groups of 20-35 people, high school students to adults.
•    All participants must be available for the entire 90 minutes. 
•    Workshops must take place within 10:30am-4:30pm.
•    Submit your request at least four weeks in advance.

Submitting a request does not guarantee a reservation. Workshops are subject to facilitator availability.

We invite groups with fewer than 20 people to join a public Finding Awe workshop. 

Learn more about how we are exploring awe.

Workshops may include creative activities like writing and drawing.

Workshops take place in our galleries, in front of the discussed works of art.

Workshops encourage close looking at the details of a single work of art.

Artworks vary across time periods, genres, and mediums. 

Workshops include both individual and collective reflections, providing an opportunity to share perspectives and see the work of art in a new way.
