Celebrate Women’s History Month with joyful opportunities for artistic expression every weekend in March at Open Studio. Discover the work of groundbreaking female artists including Barbara Hepworth, Annette Lemieux, Yayoi Kusama, and Aliza Nisenbaum! 

This week we challenge you to incorporate community in your art. Inspired by artist Aliza Nisenbaum, we will experiment with bright colors and lively composition to create vivid scenes that reflect togetherness with friends and family. Meet in the Art School on the Lower Level.


Do this at home! Look outside your window and get inspired by the colors and patterns of nature! Use bright colors like artist Alma Thomas. Instructions here.
