<p>Join a Thursday Tour and explore <a href="https://www.bgc.bard.edu/exhibitions/exhibitions/136/sonia-delaunay"><strong><em>Sonia Delaunay</em></strong></a><a href="https://www.bgc.bard.edu/exhibitions/exhibitions/136/sonia-delaunay"><strong><em>: Living Art</em></strong></a> with a Bard Graduate Center gallery educator. These tours are not comprehensive studies of the exhibition; rather they offer an opportunity to experience various ways of studying objects alongside BGC students and scholars. Tours last forty minutes and focus on a curated selection of objects. You are invited to stay and explore the rest of the exhibition at your own pace after the tour ends.</p>
