Meet up and paint the budding trees and springtime gardens around the Smart Museum of Art.
Led by Erik L. Peterson, this hands-on outdoor artmaking workshop is inspired by the vibrant paintings on display in the exhibition Bob Thompson: This House Is Mine. The evening begins with a tour and discussion of Bob Thompson’s work. Afterward, participants will move outside for a chance to create their own wildly colored paintings.
FREE, but space is limited. Please register in advance. All materials are provided free of charge. Open to all skill levels.
