Each semester ends with a student exhibition in our Education Gallery!
All levels of experience are welcome.

Painting and Mixed Media: Beyond the Brush
Saturdays, 1:30–3:30 pm
Take your painting skills to the next level and explore techniques that add texture and embellishments to your art. Learn the basics of painting with acrylics, then experiment with paint markers and oil sticks in brush-free paintings. See how artists in Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys choose materials that add special meaning to their work, and create paintings with your own message to the world.
On-site parking is available in the lot behind the Museum, off Washington Avenue. After the free 15-minute drop-off period, the hourly rate applies.
