The tours are organized through a partnership between Women's Lunch Place, a daytime women's shelter and advocacy center in Boston, and the Museum of Fine Arts.
"I see a person," Cyrlene Codrington says, pointing to the center of a painting at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The painting is of cabbages with leaves in varying hues of green and purple.
This is a special tour, organized through a partnership between Women's Lunch Place, a daytime women's shelter and advocacy center in Boston, and the MFA. For women who are patrons of Women's Lunch Place's, the curated tour of the museum is free.From providing meals and counselors, to reiki sessions and art making, Women's Lunch Place offers many services to women who are homeless in the Boston area.
Guide Sarah Buscone explains some of the background of Georgia O'Keefe's "White Rose with Larkspur No. 2" during a tour at the MFA. Finding housing is still a priority for her but a tour like this one provides a different, creative experience."It makes it easy to come in, take a look at the African art or the Asian art and then have something to speak about," Codrington says.
Free tours like this one are part of a concerted effort to make the museum a place for everyone to interact with and experience art."We hope that visitors come away with a feeling like they belonged here," Doonan says."Like they found something that they had a connection to, a positive connection, a pleasant connection, a surprising connection."
