Culture Collective Events

Learn to capture character as you create portraits using a variety of media. Through guided lessons, develop your skills in facial anatomy, proportion, and expression while exploring pastel sticks, charcoal, gouache, and graphite.

Join us for a day of free admission and drop-in programming for adults of all ages! Whether you like to explore on your own, join a conversation, or create art, there is something for you. Come as you are and stay as long as you like.

Discover the art of surface design. Define your artistic voice within richly layered textile works, and create an expressive mini quilt that tells personal or collective stories. Draw inspiration from fiber artists in the museum’s collection while experimenting with vibrant techniques like direct painting with fabric paint and dye pastes, stamping, mark making, and stitching.

Learn new ways to create paintings while experimenting with color systems and texture. Work from observation, memory, and imagination as you begin mixing colors using warm and cool color palettes.
