Interested in brushing up on your art knowledge? Want to speak in more eloquent and concise terms about art? MMAC is collaborating with the Missoula Art Museum and the Art Associates of Missoula to offer Very Visual: Art Appreciation and Visual Literacy, taught by local art historian Ted Hughes.

This noncredit course is open to the public and designed for adults. It is intended for both personal enrichment and to build on the talents and knowledge of current and potential docents at MMAC and MAM.

February 5: The Formal Elements
February 12: The Means of Artmaking

Cost is $26 for those who register by 5pm on Thursday, January 31 and $35 after.
