“I prefer to leave the paintings to speak for themselves.”

- Barnett Newman

Color, simplicity, and bold expression in this inspired by the iconic paintings of Barnett Newman.

Known for his large-scale, vibrant canvases and striking color fields, Newman’s work invites us to explore the power of minimalism and the emotional impact of space and color. In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how to create your own abstract artwork, inspired by Newman’s signature use of the "zip" — a vertical line or stripe that cuts through vast expanses of color.

You’ll experiment with bold color choices, simple shapes, and the concept of "presence" in your artwork, creating a dynamic composition that feels both expansive and intimate.

Tickets include lesson, all art materials and coveralls to protect your clothing.
