Day of Magic of Modern Art Experiences Chicago
Cloud Gate, affectionately known as “The Bean”
I’m excited to invite you to a special day of Magic of Modern Art Experiences taking place in Chicago on Saturday, September 12.
I will be leading two separate experiences: one in the morning at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and another in the afternoon at the Art Institute of Chicago. You’re welcome to attend either one or make a day of it and join us for both.
The Magic of Modern Art Experience isn’t a lecture or a traditional museum tour. Rather than explaining the art or telling you what to think, Robyn introduces you to new ways to experience art.
The entry point is to begin to uncover and dispel the assumptions and mental chatter that can stand between you and the art. Then, free to explore the art more openly, you’ll immerse yourself in two works—one you might ordinarily avoid and another to which you are naturally drawn. Through guided, in-depth exploration, you may discover that appreciating modern and contemporary art is both easier and deeper than you imagined.
People frequently leave these experiences with a new level of art appreciation—seeing not only art, but the world around them, through new eyes. Whether you already love contemporary art, find it challenging, or simply want to experience it more deeply, you are warmly invited. No knowledge of art is necessary—only curiosity.

For those interested in a more intimate experience: Robyn will also be available on Sunday, September 13, to lead a Magic of Modern Art VIP Experience for one to six people. This luxurious, highly personalized full-day immersion is thoughtfully curated around the participants and includes guided, in-depth exploration of a limited number of works, allowing ample time to engage with the art—and with one another—at a deeper level.
The day concludes at a fine restaurant, where participants can share and further solidify the experience. Please contact Robyn directly at Robyn@MagicofModernArt.com for availability, pricing, and additional details.
