Close Encounters: Work It! Building Art from the Ground Up

  • to This is a past program

Art is more than just a few brushstrokes. A single painting can be made up of multiple surfaces that an artist builds over time. Join the artists Flora Kao and Leanne Lee in creating multilayered works of art inspired by the exhibition Mark Bradford: Scorched Earth.
