Motivation Events

Starting at the High, this walking tour will explore the architectural elements in the buildings and homes of the Midtown Arts District.

In this studio workshop, instructor Daniel Mantilla will motivate us to rethink the concept of still life through careful observation of still life displays and will walk through the steps of forming a composition, underpainting, color theory, and value to enhance each work.

Organized around objects in the exhibition Dutch Art in a Global Age: Masterpieces from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and in the High’s collection, this four-week course will explore the relationships between local and nonlocal, nature and artifice, religious and secular, and freedom and control. Central to the examination of prints, paintings, decorative objects, and more will be an awareness of the human costs associated with globalization and how art can highlight and elide complex historical narratives.

Engage directly with works of art in the galleries through docent-led HIGHlights tours every Tuesday through Sunday.

Designed for children ages fifteen months through three years and their caregivers, Toddler Thursdays engage children’s creativity. Explore a new theme each month, with related artworks, art projects, and self-guided tours.
