Musing at The High
Thanks to a long standing partnership with The High Museum in Atlanta, we are able to bring this exciting art discussion program right to your home! During "Musing at The High", you will view various works of art with the group and discuss the art, the artists as well as developments in history that influenced culture at the time the art was produced. Whether you are already an art lover or new to the subject and have the desire to join others in an interesting program, we know you will enjoy "Musing" with us.
