Voltitsa at the Met ~ Cycladic Edition

Voltitsa at the Met ~ Cycladic Edition

$45.00

Join us at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Greek & Roman Art wing for our third “Voltitsa” (little walk) on Saturday, April 6, at 4 PM. We’ll gather as a community to appreciate Ancient Greek/Hellenic art and artifacts, with the option to enjoy a meal together afterward.

The intention of our Voltitsa is to encourage mindful viewing of art, new perspectives, and community and, ultimately, to help you find your own “muse” or inspiration to carry forward.  We’re excited to focus on the Met’s Cycladic Art exhibit.

Interested? More details: Maria Constantinides (The Akia Shop) and Kristina Headrick (Yia Mas) will be your hosts for the day, guiding you to several pre-selected art pieces for discussion and facilitating your time to sketch and journal afterward.

There’s the option to walk together (volta!) for a shared meal post-museum.

What’s included:
~ Admission and walk through the Met Greek & Roman wing, including pre-chosen spots where we’ll stop together for insight, guided discussion, and observation. Note: you’ll also have time to peruse independently!
~We will meet outside the museum at 3:45 PM. Those who register will be sent more details on the exact location.
~Pre-registration is required by 3/29 to reserve your ticket to the Met. ~Reservations for our optional pre-fixe dinner at Yefsi required by 4/2. This is separate from our ticket for the Voltitsa and can be made via e-mail once you’ve registered.
