Exhibition Galleries or Zoom, Virtual Program

Participants with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and their care partners are invited to join a lively and creative program that encourages creating personal connections to original works of art and each other. Explore the exhibition Draw them in, Paint them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston through facilitated discussions and multi-sensory experiences.

A defining figure of twentieth-century avant-garde art, the Jewish painter Philip Guston addressed racism, antisemitism, and his own complicity in white supremacy through his now iconic paintings of buffoonish Klansmen. Trenton Doyle Hancock, a leading Black contemporary artist and cartoonist known for his collaged canvases, similarly draws on the language of comics to challenge and comment upon the American condition. This immersive installation will explore the artists’ shared commitment to investigating the legacy of white supremacy in the United States in ways that are both emotionally raw and deeply humorous.

This program will be offered in two forms: in-person at the Jewish Museum and over Zoom. Both the in-person and virtual groups will take place at the same time. Please indicate which group you would like to register for.

All Access Programs are free of charge and require advance reservation. If you have any questions or need accommodations, please contact access@thejm.org or 212.423.3289.

The Jewish Museum is committed to making its programs accessible to all. The virtual program is presented with captioning through Zoom. Please let us know if you need any additional accommodations, including live CART interpretation or ASL interpretation.
