My Miró Inspiration: The Experience of Seeing in Gardens and Art

Nasher Museum and Sarah P. Duke Gardens present a special opportunity to tour the exhilarating exhibition 'Miró: The Experience of Seeing' and find inspiration in Miró to create your own botanical 'sculpture.' We begin at the Nasher Museum with a curator tour of Miró: The Experience of Seeing. Then, moving to a workshop at Duke Gardens, you will create a sculptural arrangement from botanical and found materials. The exhibition of Spanish-born artist Joan Miró's work reveals a tireless creativity and an intimate connection to nature and the human figure. Discover the joy and inspirations of one of the great masters of 20th century art while awakening your own. An online image gallery of the 'My Miró Inspiration' creations will be available afterward on both Nasher and Duke Gardens websites. All materials/tools will be provided along with guidance and assistance from Nasher and Duke Gardens staff. Please bring any personal embellishments you would like to include. Refreshments will be served during the workshop portion at Duke Gardens. Registration required; please call 919-668-1707.
