MagritteIn 45-minutes, an experienced museum lecturer will transform your next office lunch break, breakfast meeting, or evening reception into a cultural adventure. Art Express Programs can enhance creativity in the workplace, celebrate diversity, and give everyone a break from their cubicles!

Program Topics:

  • Travels through Asia

  • African and African American Art*
  • Chicago in Art
  • Portraiture
