Henri Matisse. The Red Studio. Issy-les-Moulineaux, fall 1911. Oil on canvas. Mrs. Simon Guggenheim Fund. © 2021 Succession H. Matisse / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York Alt Text: A painting of an artist studio, with every floor and wall surface washed with a brick red paint. Thin white lines delineate the floor from the wall. A grandfather clock, a 3-drawer dresser, sculptures displayed on stools, and colorful paintings lean against and hang on the wall in the top portion of the composition. In the bottom right corner is a lightly outlined high-backed chair facing into the room. On the bottom right side, a table juts out into the space with a painted blue plate, a set of blue pastels, an empty chalice, and a green leafy potted plant with its leaves wrapped around an abstract terracotta sculpture.

Art inSight at Home is a monthly online program for individuals who are blind or have low vision. Staff educators highlight specific themes, artists, or exhibitions through verbal description and discussion using the Zoom platform.

It’s been nearly a year of spending a significant amount of time at home. Though perhaps we did not choose to center our lives so fully within our domestic spaces, we probably have made choices about how the spaces are arranged, what objects we’ve brought into our space, and what ones we’ve let go of. As such, we’ve all played the roles of artist and curator. Join us in February as we celebrate our own unique environments, and explore the work of artists who have depicted interior spaces or created their own.

Art inSight is free of charge. Participants may join using the free Zoom app or website, or toll-free via phone.

Space is limited and preregistration is required. Please register at least 24 hours in advance of the program to receive the Zoom link.
