Art Workshops for Children & Young Adults:
Focused studio work within a museum setting
Join us this fall and you will get a glimpse of the kind of artwork created during the Nineteenth Century. We have specially coordinated art workshops in conjunction with the fall exhibition: Nineteenth Century French Master Drawings and Sculpture from the Schlossberg Collection. Imagine growing up in France more than 200 years ago. What kind of artwork would you have seen as you wandered the streets, the shops, and the galleries? Make plans to attend one of our educational offerings and you may even learn a bit more about the materials and techniques that those Nineteenth Century French artists were using!
