Art Encounters offers guided tours of Joslyn's collections and
special exhibitions on the third Thursday of each month, beginning at
10:30 am. Designed to appeal to all art lovers, from the well-seasoned
to the amateur, these monthly programs are a great way to learn about
art with others.
30 Americans is the first major exhibition at Joslyn to survey the work of contemporary African Americans artists. Drawn from the Miami-based Rubell Family Collection, this exhibition features paintings, works on paper, sculptures, installations, and videos created over the past three decades.
