This set illustrates a handful of responses to the following questions:

• When you think of the New Year, what artworks come to mind?
• How are artists making art that speaks to our rituals of marking time or holding memories?
• What works of art remind us that letting go of the past and staking hopes in the future are universal human experiences?

AUDIENCES: Educators may present this Set in a classroom to accompany a facilitated discussion of the themes above. Additionally, this Set serves a general art patron interested in connecting art and visual culture to the concept of passing time as it is experienced at the New Year. 

CONTEXT FOR 'Asking Art' SETS: This Set is part of Asking Art, a series of resources that connect works of art to the lives we live.
