Approximately 12:00 noon-1:30 pm, arrive by 12:25. 

Meet at the Garden Cafe near the 6th street entrance to the West Building of the National Gallery of Art 

Join Cornell Alumni to welcome art lovers and all wishing to show gratitude for the dedication of public servants in our community. 

Description:

A former high school librarian, current graduate student in Art History will lead a light discussion of "look fors" in selected pieces by some of the Masters (with the intention to focus on messages of balance, healing, strengthening, and building bridges across humanity.)  We'll tour French Impressionist works of art. With some luck and enough sign-ups, we will have a professionally guided tour to help us "slow look" and enhance the observations we might quietly share.

For detailed logistics, updates, art resources and instructions on how to honor others, make sure you read https://sites.google.com/view/ccw-event-details/art-gallery-visits

Noon arrival is optional.

12:20  we'll announce a few "look fors" and begin our slow walking tour of about 60 - 75 minutes. We'll go upstairs to Rooms 80-93,     (bright yellow on the map.)Keeping in mind that our event may have to be squeezed into a guest's lunchtime, it is fine to break off and depart at any time that you must.

1:30 pm  (optional):  folks can continue to walk about the National Gallery of Art on their own, or to socialize over coffee or lunch downstairs at the Espresso and Gelato Bar or Cascade Cafe on the concourse between the East and  West buildings.

Plans changed? Cancelling?  Email LibrarianMS   @   gmail.com (no spaces) so that we can honor people on the waiting list.  You can also cancel your registration by logging in to the CCW Web site which will immediately release a spot for others. This is sure to be a POPULAR series, organized for community building and community service, so thank you for your supportive engagement!
