  • 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.

Dare To Try: Oil Painting Classes For All Levels

DateMonday, March 14, 2022 at 8:00AM

Jill Kiefer clad in her painting garb, working in her own studioThese fun painting workshops led by Jill Kiefer are designed for people who has always wanted to paint—but have been a bit too shy to give it a try! More advanced painters and returning students are also welcome.

Held at Cedar Lane Arts Center (CLAC) in Ossining, NY—we work in a large space with tons of natural lighting and a beautiful view. Parking is free and easy. The classes are small so everyone has plenty of working room. Painters are also allowed to leave their materials at CLAC, so you don’t have to schlep a lot of stuff back and forth each we.

We review the absolute basics, and new painters will learn every aspect of painting in traditional oils, including the proper use, cleanup, care, and disposal of your tools and materials. 

Discover how to look, see, and think like an artist. Each session will begin with a structured lesson and demonstration, followed by directed studio work--one on one. You will be encouraged to work at your own pace. 

There will also be two FREE optional open studio sessions following the structured classes. No prior art training is required. More experienced painters are also welcome. 

Please bring along some color images of what you might want to paint. If possible, bring along B&W Xerox copies of them, too. A $25 materials fee will be due at the first session unless you prefer to purchase your own materials. If you already have materials, there will be no fee. Wear your painting clothes and be prepared to have fun!

Space is limited so Register HERE as soon as possible.
