February 2-24: Poured Paint Sculptures; drop in at 1:00, 2:00, or 3:00 p.m.

Inspired by Odalisque (Hey, Hey Frankenthaler) by Lynda Benglis in the Difference? exhibition, we will pour and manipulate paint to create works that may be considered both painting and sculpture. This 45-minute workshop will include a staff-led gallery visit to talk about Benglis's work.

Join us as we take a closer look at design elements in our larger-than-life Gothic bed.

Each workshop will last approximately forty-five minutes and includes an interactive discussion about the bed led by Museum staff.
