The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield brings back this fall its popular “Getting Contemporary Art” series. The virtual course provides a roadmap to central themes and ideas that have influenced artistic practice since the 1960s. Classes will take place on Wednesdays Nov. 11, 18 and Dec. 2 and 9 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Participants may register for the series or individual classes; there is a discounted rate for Aldrich members and individuals under the age of 27. Space is limited and early registration is encouraged. To register, visit aldrichart.org/events.
The series is led by Danielle Ogden, adjunct professor at Fairfield University and museum specialist, Adult Learning at The Aldrich. She holds an M.A. in art history from Boston University and an Ed.M. in education from Harvard University. All sessions will be recorded with lecture materials emailed after each class.
