    Art Speaks: Art works to make you wonder

    When looking at art, have you ever thought, “That just doesn’t speak to me”? Or do you feel drawn to an artwork and want to look at it longer? The MonteCedro Art Committee offers an opportunity every other month, to explore our varied responses to the art in our collection. In March, they will look at pieces in the Montecedro Art Collection that are mysterious. They will discuss why an artist might pick this subject or what made the artist depict this abstract. What do our own responses suggest as meanings? Come and join a lively conversation.
