Amanda Williams. Harold's Chicken Shack, from the Color(ed) Theory Suite. 2014–2016. Pigmented inkjet print. Fund for the Twenty-First Century Alt Text: A photograph of a large grassy yard under a cloud-dotted blue sky. A concrete path winds across the yard, ending on the left at a brightly colored but worn orange-red house with no windows and a fence covered in overgrowth. Centered in the background is another wooden house, hidden behind trees and surrounded by a few parked cars. Large green and brown leafy hedges frame this residential landscape on the left and right sides, and the long shadows of trees streak across the yard.

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.

In this interactive session we will have a conversation around artists' depictions of place. We will consider modern artworks about “home,” questioning how artists tell stories about memory, nostalgia, and the human experience by exploring site and landscape.

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.

For more information, please call Access Programs at (212) 408-6447 or email [email protected].
