Art Making in the Lobby: To Paint as Artists Paint

FREE

Thursday and Friday evenings from through March 30, 2012, visitors are invited to create miniature paintings in the Grand Lobby using various materials and inspiration from To See as Artists See: American Art from The Phillips Collection, on view in the Ingram Gallery through May 6, 2012.

To Paint as Artists Paint has been developed in conjunction with the first international exhibition organized by The Phillips Collection to feature an overview of the museum’s renowned American collection, an exhibition of 100 works by 68 artists, including outstanding paintings by George Inness, Winslow Homer, Edward Hicks, Edward Hopper, Maurice Prendergast, John Sloan, Arthur Dove, Georgia O’Keeffe, John Marin, Stuart Davis, Milton Avery, Jacob Lawrence, Adolph Gottlieb, Philip Guston, Richard Diebenkorn, Robert Motherwell, and many others. Through miniature painting, guests can imitate artists who followed their own vision while celebrating the best of American art from the late 19th through the 20th century. This art-making activity in the Grand Lobby is free and open to all visitors.
