All In A Day’s Work

Wednesday: July 24 • 2:00 p.m.
Have you ever wondered what goes into setting up and taking down an exhibition? Your questions will be answered by Art Preparator Michael Dolbee as he delves into the complexities of the ‘behind the scenes’ work involved in presenting MONA’s collection to the public.

Modern Day Artist Explorers

Wednesday: August 28 • 2:00 p.m.
In January, an Adventure Art Class from Hastings College loaded up their hand-made wagon and braved the weather to make the 50-mile trek to MONA on foot! They documented their journey just as the artist-explorers did, and created video footage of their experience. Join us to hear about their extraordinary journey.
