Inspired by the fantastic works on view for the fall/winter exhibition season? Follow us on Instagram as we highlight the work of artists from #SpeakingofPeople and our #WomanTributeWednesday artists in celebration of Kianja Strobert: Of This Day in Time!
November/December Program Highlights
Help us celebrate International Human Rights Day tonight from 7–9 PM with a special workshop called Studio Squared: Portraiture and the Black, Male Body! The program will begin with a brief tour of Titus Kaphar: The Jerome Project, followed by a figure drawing class lead by teaching artist Mario Moore. Embracing new trends in portraiture and confronting the pervasive lack of African-American figure models in the classroom environment, this workshop celebrates the black, male body!
