Unwind and find inspiration in self-taught art! Drink, draw, and connect virtually with AFAM Education staff and other creatives.

Lose yourself in the undulating lines, stylized natural forms, and complex geometry of self-taught artists who incorporate pattern and repetition into their work. In this session, AFAM educator and artist Natalie Beall will share works by artists who have invented their own visual language with symmetry and recurring motifs. Prompts for looking and drawing will be shared throughout the evening, and participants will be invited to share their work.

Space is limited and advance registration is required. Please consider making a donation when you register to support ongoing virtual programming.
