Celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life and legacy and carry on his pursuit of justice with a Day of Service at the Gardner Museum. Excerpts of Dr. King’s speeches will serve as inspiration for art kits that you can take home to design your own advocacy or postcard to share a message of hope with someone important in your life.

In Calderwood Hall, watch Witness: Spirituals and the Classical Music Tradition, a four-part video series featuring Boston-based ensemble Castle of our Skins. This series explores the ways some Black American composers have found inspiration in the rich tradition of spirituals. Then, breathe in the beauty of the Midwinter Tropics Installation in the Courtyard. Pause for a brief guided meditation on your mobile device or pick up a sketching card to capture inspiration you find in the galleries.
