Event Home

This year ISAW is participating in the Museum Mile Festival, a block party along Fifth Avenue between 82nd and 105th Street. The festival is free and all participating museums open their doors to the public for the evening. Fifth Avenue is closed down and the street transforms into a venue celebrating our NYC museums and the start of summer through art and music.

This workshop will take place in person at ISAW. Registration is required; click through for the registration link. Please join illustrator and teaching artist Joan Chiverton for an afternoon of sketching in the galleries in conjunction with the exhibition Rethinking Etruria. Develop your drawing skills and discover a new way of seeing the exhibit, as you sketch masterpieces and other objects. Following a brief introduction and tutorial, Ms. Chiverton will circulate the galleries and provide individual coaching, if desired. All skill levels are welcome, from beginner to advanced. Participants should bring their own drawing pad or paper with a board, but we will have paper on hand if necessary. Gallery specific pencils will be provided by ISAW. For conservation reasons pens, pastels, charcoal and paints need to be kept at home.

This lecture will take place online. Registration is required; click through for the registration link. At the earliest stages of its development, Etruscan civilization was defined by emerging aristocratic power, which, during the Late Iron Age (8th century BCE), was expressed through warrior elites.

Dr. Leah Mascia presents on the ways in which funerary customs of Roman Egypt adapted to a changing multicultural landscape while remaining firmly embedded in the Pharaonic tradition.
