Adults

The Noguchi Museum welcomes visitors of all ages, identities, and abilities as they form personally meaningful connections with the art, design, and vision of Isamu Noguchi and beyond. Programs in person at the Museum include gallery talks and hands-on workshops. Digital programming draws on the richness of the Museum’s archives and collection.

Center of Attention

Center of Attention is a series of conversations each dedicated to a single work of art by Isamu Noguchi. Learn about Noguchi’s materials and process, and participate in slow looking, reflection, and dialogue.

Drawing from a Distance

Drawing from a Distance is a free distance learning drawing program held on Zoom every third Monday of the month. Explore select artworks and practice introductory drawing techniques, then settle into a flow while creating a long sketch of a fixed-perspective film of a gallery space in the Museum. Previous drawing experience is not necessary.

Hands-On

Hands-On art-making workshops for adults encourage participants to explore their own creativity with materials and processes, while actively making connections between works on view in the Museum’s galleries

Mindfulness in the Galleries

Mindfulness in the Galleries is led in partnership with local community partner Mindful Astoria and includes guided meditation, reflection, and conversation in the Museum galleries before it is open to the public.

Wordplay

Wordplay is a series that explores the words, texts, and archival documents of Isamu Noguchi and uses writing as a tool for engaging with Noguchi’s sculptures.

Access

The Noguchi Museum is committed to enabling all visitors to experience the art and environment created by Isamu Noguchi.
