Last program in March!

Double Take: Gallery Tour of Select Artworks | Thurs., March 26, 2026 | 5:30-6 p.m. | Beach Museum of Art | Free and open to the public
Theme: Labels — “What’s in a Name?” | Guest: Kent Michael Smith (Museum Director)

Art labels offer information that can guide or limit our understanding of a piece. Who decides what gets included, and how does that shape our expectations? This conversation looks at how labels affect the way we engage with art.

Double Take gallery conversation

Double Take is a 30-minute program hosted by Museum Outreach Specialist Nate McClendon that that explores how to engage with art and invites participants to take a deeper look at selected artworks on display. If you’re new or unsure of how to interpret or think about art, this is for you. Bring your personal experiences to the artwork and hear other perspectives. 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.

We will explore the Kansas Triennial 25/26 exhibition
