Beauty and Belief Workshop Series

In conjunction with Beauty and Belief: Crossing Bridges with the Arts of Islamic Culture, the Museum of Art is offering a series of workshops to explore certain principles of Islamic art in an engaging and hands-on way. These workshops are designed for students on campus and community members and will help museum visitors gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the arts of Islamic Culture.
