Georgia Museum of Art | Calendar
DAILY OFFERINGS
On March 3, 2009, the Georgia Museum of Art broke ground on its Phase II expansion and launched GMOA on the Move, a state- and nationwide initiative of offsite programs and exhibitions. Due to construction, the museum offices are currently located in the former visual arts building on Jackson Street on UGA's North Campus. Although the galleries and shop are temporarily closed, special calendar events are still open to the public, and gift items are available from our Web shop. Please visit the museum's virtual galleries in Second Life and view the calendar below for a complete listing of GMOA on the Move events.
The Georgia Museum of Art is scheduled to reopen in early 2011.
All events are free and open to the public unless otherwise specified.
Family Day programs are sponsored by Heyward Allen Motor Co., Inc., Heyward Allen Toyota, YellowBook USA and the Friends of the Museum. Free and open to all families.
SCHEDULING DOCENT-LED TOURS
During construction, our docents will lead off-site exhibition tours as well as suitcase tours, field trips, programs featuring paintings, printmaking and sculpture, continuing education programs, book club and other special interest groups. To learn more please email Carissa DiCindio or call (706) 583-0111.
