Have you ever pondered the messages conveyed by works of art?

In these unique sessions, members like you engage in enlightening conversations led by our knowledgeable museum experts, exploring the nuances and stories behind some of the NMOA’s most cherished artworks.

Join us on May 21 at 1 p.m. for Mothers, Matriarchs & Mentors, a special Member Experience Gallery Tour and Tea at the Newark Museum of Art. In celebration of May – a month when we honor mothers and the many forms of care and guidance they provide – this guided tour will highlight works from our Arts of Global Africa, Seeing America, and Arts of Global Asia collections, exploring how artists across cultures and generations have expressed themes of nurturing, strength, and connection. Featured artists include Simone Leigh, Kyungmi Shin, Kimathi Mafafo, Minna Citron, and Romare Bearden.

After the tour, we’ll gather in Engelhard Court for a relaxed tea social. Enjoy a selection of teas and sweet treats – served on elegant China – an inviting way to connect with fellow members and continue the conversation.
