Soak up summer each Friday in August with a special activation of Giorgio Griffa: Paths in the Forest. Between 1–4 pm, enjoy the exhibition or take in the beauty of Stone Hill, relaxing at our Italian “café” on the Moltz Terrace offering gelato, coffee, and pastries. All ages are invited to make their mark on a collaborative chalk drawing, inspired by Griffa’s process of painting on unprimed canvas laid flat on the ground. At 2 pm, enjoy an all-ages tour of Italian painter Giorgio Griffa’s vibrant abstractions with Olivia Brandwein, manager of community and family programs. Join the fun at the Lunder Center, whether you drive up, or take a meandering path through the forest.

During Free August Fridays (1–4 pm), admission to Giorgio Griffa: Paths in the Forest and the 2 pm gallery tour is free. Advance online registration encouraged; walk-in onsite registration at the Lunder Center is also welcome. No registration is required to participate in the afternoon’s free art-making activities or to visit the Italian café. Refreshments available for purchase. Held rain or shine.

Family programs are generously supported by Allen & Company.
