Open Studio: Drip, Drop!
June 21, 2025 | 10:00 am–2:00 pm
Dive into the summer at the Hirshhorn, where we’re taking inspiration from the best of summer camp—Art School style! Join us every Saturday in June for Open Studio: Color Battle. Drop in and join a color “team,” then make your own colorful artwork inspired by artists such as Jackson Pollock, Morris Louis, and more. Explore color theory and experiment with color mixing to make something unique!
Drip, drop! Take inspiration from artist Morris Louis, who experimented with pouring paint onto a canvas in his work Buskin (1959). Let your colors battle it out on the canvas, using paint and gravity to explore color mixing and create your own work of art.
Meet in the Art School on the Lower Level.
