Reynolda opens its doors after hours to visitors 21+ for an evening of music, drinks, and art. View the historic house featuring highlights from the permanent collection, and go on a scavenger hunt for a chance to win a prize. Make sure to visit onsite food trucks and enjoy a beverage or two while you are here!
Come visit Layered Looking: Making Sense of Art and explore many different pathways for engaging with works of art. This family-friendly exhibition includes art from Reynolda’s permanent collection including works by artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe, Jacob Lawrence, Stuart Davis, Frederic Remington, Alexander Calder, Minnie Evans and more.
With hands-on stations and prompts to get you thinking, art will come alive in new ways. We’ll have guides in the gallery to facilitate conversations with art and our Layered Looking Open Studio will be open for homeschool children and adults to create a work of art to take home. Families, we also welcome you to explore the grounds and Reynolda Village before or after your visit to the exhibition.

Come check out Layered Looking: Making Sense of Art in the Babcock Gallery from March 10 to July 19, 2026! The Historic House portion of the museum is closed until August, 2026, but you can still enjoy our latest exhibition and explore the world of art through a new lens. Layered Looking invites you to move through Reynolda’s collection not with a guidebook or a lecture, but through sound, touch, memory, movement — even making things with your own two hands. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a lifelong art lover, you’ll walk away with a set of tools for viewing art that you can carry into any museum.
