Offering insight into the late artist’s work and life, Scott will join AAM Learning Director Michelle Dezember to bookend the first solo museum survey of the artist.
What if the whole world was your art studio? Participants will take inspiration from the playful approach of artist Gabriel Orozco, exploring how our surrounding environment can be a studio space for creating multimedia artworks.
