Be Curious: Art Links to Learning

The Phillips Collection has always understood that art is a conversation, and this community exhibition puts that idea front and center. Celebrating 20 years of the museum’s Art Links program, Be Curious: Art Links to Learning brings together work created by students from schools across the DC region, with pieces inspired by their encounters with the museum’s collections and exhibitions. What makes the show worth a visit is seeing how young artists interpret the world around them without the pressure of fitting into established categories. The exhibition captures experimentation, curiosity and personal storytelling at the stage where creative voices are still taking shape. It’s a refreshing reminder that some of the most interesting perspectives in a museum can come from emerging artists finding their own way of seeing things.
