\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At their core, creating and looking at works of art are acts of care, from the artist\u2019s labor to the viewer\u2019s contemplation and appreciation. Storage, conservation, and display are also ways of tending to art. This exhibition invites visitors to explore how contemporary artists trace and address concepts of care through their materials, subjects, ideas, and processes.<\/p>\n

This Fall we invite our students to join us for two Co-Curricular events around the MFA’s exhibit Tender Loving Care<\/em>. We will be taking group tours of this exhibit, followed by a Panel Discussion event with some contributors to the collection. Browse the drop-down boxes below to learn more about each event.<\/p>\n
