For Adults Events

Join us as we explore more than one hundred works from the High’s robust photography collection tracing the impact of the New Vision movement from its origins in the 1920s to today.

Join us for a day of free admission and drop-in programming for adults of all ages! Whether you like to explore on your own, join a conversation, or create art, there is something for you. Come as you are and stay as long as you like.

Don’t miss an evening of live jazz at the High every third Friday.

Discover tranquility and connection at Oasis, a mindfulness-centered experience held on the third Saturday of each month.

Join fellow members on this exclusive thematic tour and take a deep dive into the High’s collection to discover spooky imagery. This tour, inspired by Halloween, offers a unique perspective on new pieces and old favorites.

Learn principles of design while playing and experimenting with collage materials and techniques. Make collages with torn and cut shapes from paper and fabric, and create collage materials using ink, paint, and texture rubbings.

Learn to capture the dynamic energy of the human figure in charcoal. Draw from mannequins and live models, finding the essence of a pose, and build initial sketches into developed figure drawings with form and weight.

Explore how plants, minerals, and other natural materials can be used to dye fabric with rich, layered, and often unexpected results. Learn foundational dyeing techniques and experiment with color, pattern, and texture as you create a series of dyed textile samples.

How can erasing bring a drawing to life? Explore Ezrom Legae: Beasts and study the artist’s expressive use of space and form. Then, experiment with drawing through erasure: practice shading on paper with graphite, charcoal, or Conté crayons, and use erasers to reveal depth. As you practice omitting detail and embracing distortion, both absence and line will shape the figures that emerge from your drawings.
