A Closer Look at "Care and Concern"

Name: A Closer Look at "Care and Concern" | Ackland Art Tour
Start: 2026-10-16T17:00:00.000Z

Location: Ackland Art Museum

A Closer Look at "Care and Concern" is a guided, thirty-minute gallery conversation at the Ackland Art Museum focusing on a select few modern and contemporary artworks. This free program is best suited for high schoolers and college students who can engage in a focused group discussion. Because the tour is limited to the first twenty participants on a first-come, first-served basis, you will want to arrive at the museum lobby early to secure your spot. It is a smart choice for a quick Thursday afternoon outing because the thirty-minute format keeps the discussion moving quickly. You can easily pair this gallery visit with a walk down Franklin Street for an afternoon treat afterward.
