Virtual Classes & Schedule
Want the comfort of your home while learning about contemporary art? I continue to have a regular schedule of virtual classes, held over Zoom.
These classes offer an overview of what is happening in contemporary art today and allow the freedom to discover new artists and dialogue about what artists are doing and why their work is essential in the context of global culture today. Established and emerging artists are given equal attention as we “visit” galleries, collections, and museums—focusing on the vast diversity of art created and exhibited in the New York Metropolitan area.
If you are interested in a customized virtual class, please see the custom tours page.

Virtual classes offered this fall:
Elizabeth Catlett
February 20th
The Brooklyn Museum’s retrospective of over 200 of Catlett’s works finally gives this influential sculptor and printmaker her due. As an Afro-American woman coming of age during the Great Depression, Catlett witnessed class inequality, racial violence, and U.S. imperialism up close. Catlett employed a visual language distinguished by strongly delineated forms and compositional focus to depict people and perspectives that had been historically excluded from artistic representation—further inspiring the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
Venice Biennale
March 27th
Explore the Venice Biennale, known as the “Olympics of Art” since 1895, featuring an impressive lineup of global artists. The show consists of a central exhibition spanning two locations as well as 90 independent pavilions organized by individual nations. We will look at the groundbreaking work of Jeffrey Gibson, the first solo Indigenous artist to represent the United States, alongside talents like Julien Creuzet (representing France), Kapwani Kiwanga (Canada) and Archie Moore (Australia).
Orphism in Paris, 1910-1930
April 3rd
“Harmony and Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910–1930” is an exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum that traces the movement that channeled the poetry and rhythm of modernity into vibrant, color-saturated painting. We’ll look at works by artists including: Robert and Sonia Delaunay, Marc Chagall, Frantisek Kupka and Paul Signac.
Contemporary Spring Exhibitions
May 8th
As we do every season: we will take an insider’s look at the exciting shows of the Spring season and see what new artists are being featured. Chelsea, the Lower East Side, TriBeCa, Long Island City—who knows (yet) where we will go!
