Sunday, April 18: 2-4 p.m.

Join Circle for a wellness-based workshop, streamed live from the Reflection Room in the Glass Pavilion, crafted to usher in relaxation and self-reflection. Musician and certified yoga instructor, Danielle Nolff, will offer a deeply immersive, full-body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to invite therapeutic and restorative effects to the mind and body. Participants will create a comfortable space at home to bring relaxation, peace, and tranquility.

Participants will be provided with a brief overview of the Chakra system, properties of the Chakras, and benefits of meditations/sound baths. This will be followed by a short breathing exercise and a thirty minute sound bath experience. Finally, participants will be given art-inspired self-reflection prompts and an opportunity to share their experience with other participants.

Knowing that art and museums offer a sense of peace and comfort for many during difficult times, Wellness Together is a workshop organized by Circle, TMA’s affinity group dedicated to inclusive and innovative programming.

This virtual event is free, but advanced registration is required; the live-stream link will be emailed to participants in advance of the workshop.

A birding adventure awaits you at the Toledo Museum of Art in partnership with Metroparks Toledo during peak spring bird migration. Join a Metroparks birding expert as they lead a walk through TMA’s campus in search of migratory and local birds. Metroparks Toledo will provide participants with (sanitized) binoculars to use, or you are welcome to bring your own. Located at the intersection of two major migratory flyways, the Toledo region, including TMA’s campus, provides excellent stopover habitat for songbirds as they travel north. This event is offered in conjunction with the Museum’s exhibition Rare and Wonderous: Birds in Art and Culture, 1620–1820 (April 24–July 25, 2021). The exhibition is sponsored by 2021 Exhibition Program sponsors Taylor Cadillac and ProMedica, with support from the McLoughlin Family Foundation and the Ohio Arts Council.

This event is free, but to keep a safe capacity, advanced registration is required. Two times are offered. Register here.

Family Art Club is designed for young children and their grown ups to explore art together. Each workshop session includes all the supplies needed to create a unique work of art inspired by the art and artists in TMA’s collections and special exhibitions.
