Open Studio: Make It, Wear It
June 14, 2025 | 10:00 am–2:00 pm
Dive into 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!
Brighten your day—and your wardrobe! Take inspiration from artist Jean-Michel Basquiat’s painted lab coat Untitled (MAN MADE), on view in the Art School. Join the Color Battle by decorating a bandana with the vibrant hues of your color team.
Meet in the Art School on the Lower Level
