Simultaneously delightful and scholarly--this is a must have for anyone interested in art history.

  • Exit Through the Gift Shop
    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.
  • The Impressionists

Register Today!

In this series of workshops, you’ll create a painting on canvas using oil sticks. These are traditional oil pigments that have simply been processed into stick form. You can use them like crayons, you can thin them, you can dip into them, as you would any other painting palette, or you can combine all of these techniques. All of the oil stick painting techniques are executed right on your canvas—from thick “impasto” applications to delicate washes. This class will teach you all of the options. You’ll find that it’s a thoroughly enjoyable way to paint!

Please bring a canvas (11”x14” or larger) to the first class, along with images of what you might like to paint. All other materials will be provided. There will be a one-time $10 supply fee due on the first day of class. No prior art training is required and all levels are welcome.
