Through the Looking Glass
THROUGH–MAY 25
Look very, very closely. What do you see? Insects flit, moonbeams sparkle, water ripples and petals cascade. We live in a fascinating world full of the splendor and harmony of nature’s pattern, design and color. It’s pretty amazing, don’t you agree? Inspired by National Geographic: The Art of Exploration, Art Ways gives you the opportunity to observe and explore beautiful details created by Mother Nature that have inspired artists for centuries.
More Than Man’s Best Friend…

What do dogs, cows, chickens, turtles and birds have in common? They’re all animals, of course! Did you know that, throughout time, artists have been inspired by all kinds of animals?
What do metal, wood, paint, stone and paper have in common? They’re all materials artists use to make really terrific things!
What is enlightening, creative, cool, imaginary and fun? All the animals, materials and exciting activities that are waiting for you in Art Ways this spring!
