Fall 2006 Collector Series

TGAA is excited to announce its Collector Series program.  The series will enable members and the public to go behind the scenes for private tours of galleries, museums and corporate and residential collections. The series is designed to promote art education and provide professional information on collecting art. Tours will focus on the art of collecting, caring for collections and information about specific collections.  The entire series will include visits to nine collections.  The first four visits are listed below.

TGAA members who have joined at the Associate level or higher are eligible to participate in the nine-visit series at the discount subscriber rates listed below.   Non-members and members who have joined at a level less than the Associate level are welcome to participate on a per-event basis at the non-subscriber rate listed below. TGAA encourages its members to renew their membership at the Associate level or higher in order to attend all of the tours at the greatly reduced subscriber rate.  Visit or call the gallery to make your reservation. Payment in full is required at the time of reservation.  For more information call Tall Grass  at (708) 748-3377 or visit the web site at www.tallgrassarts.org.

FALL 2006 Lecture Series

TGAA is pleased to offer our adult membership the opportunity to learn more about  artists and art history through lectures, discussions, panels, and films. Each month, a lecture or discussion will be presented in the gallery as outlined in the season schedule. Artists, scholars, and educators will be invited to be presenters at TGAA. The Lecture Series will augment our already scheduled gallery program with various perspectives on  a specific subject and concept or they will  provide a historical information for better understanding the history of art and culture. These lectures are open to all members free of charge, however, we strongly urge you to make a small donation of $2 per lecture to help support continuing the program. No reservation needed.
