About the event
Find yourself at the Currier for an enriching and enlivening creative day centered around two exciting exhibitions, Spray: Jules Olitski in the 1960s and Painting in Color: Contemporary Abstraction.
The Currier is unique in offering close-knit conversations with globally-important contemporary artists. For Spray Day, Painting in Color artists Heather Hutchison and Jane Swavely -- both deeply influenced by Jules Olitski's work with color -- come to the Currier for an interactive Art Talk. Then, enjoy a music performance of John Luther Adam’s "Red Arc/Blue Veil" to experience the intersections of sound and color. The day culminates with a tour of these two incredible exhibitions led by Director of Curatorial Affairs, Bruce McColl.
Consider Spray Day your spring creative retreat -- accessible, energizing, and inspiring.

Presented in collaboration with the Saint Anselm College Fine Art Department, Spray Day is a ticketed event. Pre-registration is required.
