No, the Nelson-Atkins hasn't acquired a new piece of art for the modern & contemporary collection. This masterpiece was created by students during a studio art class in the Museum's Ford Learning Center. Students spent time in the gallery to draw inspiration from the Surrealist painting Women at Sunrise by Joan Miro. In the classroom, the group assessed the blank twenty-foot length of paper and then worked together to create a unified mural.

This work and others by students are on view in the Ford Learning Center (on the ground floor of the Nelson-Atkins Building). New classes for spring and summer sessions are enrolling now. Check out our calendar for class descriptions and to sign up!
