Open Studio: Art Is Better Together

Get into the art-making spirit in October at Open Studio! Each week we’ll get inspired by a different artwork on view from artists such as Aliza Nisenbaum, Pablo Picasso, Joan Mitchell, and more! Join us this week as we draw inspiration from Nisenbaum’s painting Mis Cuatro Gracias (Brendan, Camilo, Carlos, Jorge) (2018). We will experiment with bright colors and lively compositions to create vivid scenes that reflect togetherness with friends and family. We’ll be joined by guest band Magpie from Inspired Child between 10 AM-1 PM to help us get into the art-making mood! Meet in Art School on the Museum’s Lower Level. Inspired Child is an award-winning nonprofit organization that provides early childhood arts education to underresourced communities in the District of Columbia. Its mission activates a love of learning and literacy through programs for children ages birth to 5, their families, and their caregivers and educators.
