The celebrated artistic dream team of Ken and Stephanie Goldman will guide you through the fascinating history and exciting future of watermedia art, showcasing six decades of creativity, transformation, and bold experimentation. This event will highlight how watermedia has evolved—from traditional techniques to contemporary innovations that are reshaping the art world today.  There will be a Hands-on segment to show and describe new materials, techniques and tools.

Please join us for this unique event presented in collaboration between the UC San Diego Stein Institute for Research on Aging and the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. This event will feature a thought-provoking panel discussion on the intersection of art, aging, and the museum experience, followed by a guided tour of the Museum and a reception.

The panel will showcase the meaningful work being done by both organizations, supported by the Vitality Arts Program, to explore how art can engage, empower, and enrich the lives of older adults.
