July will take us back to IMA. Art lovers know the name Camille Pissarro, but did you know that in addition to inspiring Cezanne, Gaugin, and Seurat, he also collaborated artistically with his two sons? Curators at the IMA have brought together seven paintings in their collection to explore how this family of painters influenced each other. It is an inspiring story of intergenerational dialogue and support. Using conservation imaging and technical analyses, the curators have found important new insights. Join us for a guided tour of the exhibition with Sadie Arft, Curatorial Assistant, European Art & Works on Paper.
What: “Impressionism Across Generations: The Pissarro Family Legacy”
When: Tuesday, July 14; Tour at 1 pm; Lunch at noon
Where: Indianapolis Museum of Art, Newfields, 4000 Michigan Road
RSVP: Bonnie Pribush
Please let me know if you are coming for lunch or just the exhibit.
Hooray! Indiana Artisans has reopened, and we have rescheduled Pour Your (Acrylic) Heart Out for Tuesday, August 11. Join the IWI Discover Art group for a truly unique hands-on creative experience. Mixed media artist Dawn Michaelis will guide participants in creating their own small acrylic pour painting—perfect to take home and display.
Acrylic pouring is a captivating abstract art technique in which fluid acrylic paints are poured onto a surface to create dynamic, one-of-a-kind designs. Dawn incorporates this method as the foundation of her mixed media artwork, later enhancing pieces with plaster and resin to create dimensional elements such as tree branches, flowers, birds, and even ears of corn.
During this session, participants will focus on the acrylic pouring process and complete a make-and-take project. While time will not allow for additional dimensional details, each attendee will leave with their own unique piece of art—and a memorable creative experience
