🎧Calling all podcast lovers! We’ve got a must-listen episode for you. On the latest episode of “Let’s Talk Art with Brooke,” your favorite art barista explores “Art on Prescription,” a powerful new program in partnership with Novant Health designed to combat loneliness through the healing power of art. Brooke sits down with the Bechtler’s Assistant Director for Education, Molly Phillips, who shares the inspiration behind the initiative: “So much about healthcare is about eliminating things from your life... But we are really excited about this, because it’s a positive program — it’s about adding something to your life.” Click the link in the comments to access the conversation and learn how museum visits are being prescribed to foster connection, creativity, and community.

✨ New views, fresh perspectives. ✨ Now on view – newly installed works from the Bechtler’s permanent collection, featured in our 2nd and 3rd floor galleries.   🌍 “Departures and Arrivals” (2nd Floor) Highlights modern and contemporary artists whose practices were and are indelibly impacted by experiences of migration and transnationalism. Whether freely traversing borders or involuntarily displaced, these artists challenged artistic norms and brought new perspectives to bear on themes of place, belonging, and interconnectedness. 🖌️ “Antoni Tàpies: Matter and Marks” (3rd Floor) Featuring works by a self-taught Spanish artist known for his innovative use of materials and symbolism. Over seven decades, he transformed dirt, fabric, marble dust, and straw into textured works that evoke a sense of history and touch. His prints—created using techniques like lithography and etching—mirror the coarse, weathered surfaces of his paintings. 🎟️ Check out these exhibitions for FREE this Wednesday May 14 from 5–9 PM — featuring a special Wednesday Night Live Eurovision-themed party with music, art, and more!
