Experience the exhibitions Flying Woman: the Paintings of Katherine Bradford and Marsden Hartley: An American Nature in a whole new light in this free self-paced drawing series. Practice your drafting skills and experiment with technique with drawing instructor Cooper Lanza. Lanza will offer a series of prompts to help you dive into the works on view or offer guidance and support along your artistic journey. All levels of experience are welcome. Drawing materials will be provided, including sketch paper, pencils, and erasers. Personal drawing materials are not allowed in the galleries during this program.  

Please note this is a drop-in program with limited capacity, and therefore participants are admitted on a first-come-first-served basis. If all spots are full when you arrive, you are welcome to join the waitlist and will be contacted when a drawing space is available.
