Drawing Closer: Edifice Complex

Artists of all experience and skill levels are invited to work closely after thematic selections of drawings from the Clark’s collection. August’s theme, “Edifice Complex,” features prints, drawings, and photographs that image the built environment—cityscapes, architectural fragments, and ruins. Enjoy an open session to participate in the tradition of copying earlier artworks or choose to practice fundamentals and explore ideas.

Basic materials will be provided. Artists who bring their own supplies should note that only graphite pencils are allowed in the Study Center and museum galleries.

Free. Advance registration is required, and capacity is limited to fifteen participants.
