For those engaged in scholarly research, the Ryobi Foundation’s Study Center offers a unique opportunity to explore art history. An exceptional resource that includes rare books, personal correspondence with artists, photographs, and even video footage, all visitors are welcome to delve in and learn more. Designed to support art historians, graduate students, collectors, authors, and more, the Study Center provides access to the Powers’ extensive collection of information.
The Study Center
Inside the Learning Lab, visitors are invited to create a work of art. With rotating projects inspired by artists on display, the Learning Lab gives you a chance to be an artist yourself.
The current project is inspired by artist Frank Stella. His art is defined by the use of geometric forms, luminous color, and architectural composition. Pick an art-making station, then use supplies like colored pencils, colorful paper, and bright shapes to make your own Frank Stella collage. Then, when you’re finished, you can take your work home or hang it up to be on display in the museum.
