Double Take: Gallery Tour of Select Artworks

Posted on by Jui Mhatre

Thurs., Oct. 23, 2025 | 5:30-6 p.m. | Beach Museum of Art | Free and open to the public

Theme: Language as Icon
Art creates a spotlight, urging the viewer to consider something new or to simply look deeper. Because language is symbolic, common in our everyday experience, artists can use words to elicit preconceived understandings and emotions to bring forth a new perspective. 

Double Take is a 30-minute program hosted by Museum Outreach Specialist Nate McClendon that invites participants to take a deeper look at selected artworks on display. Through conversations with curators, artists, and museum staff, the program explores the stories, intentions, and societal themes behind the art and exhibitions. Gain insight into artistic techniques, philosophies, and the role of art in everyday life, while also having the opportunity to anonymously share and observe real-time reactions to the works.

Join us throughout the year as we discover how to use the museum, engage with art, and uncover why art matters.
