Fall Themes
- September: Subject & Shape (Starting September 10)
- Get inspired by the myriad shapes and forms that emerge from the matrix of the Golden Ratio. This month participants will create 2D and 3D works of art inspired by Norwich-based artist Howard McCalebb and his exhibition The Golden Mean.
- October: Celebrating Cultural Beauty
- This month our focus will be on Indigenous expression and perspectives as participants explore the work of Native and Indigenous artists. We will look at work that is both in the Museum collection and also featured in The Land You Stand On: Contemporary Art and Modern Native Identity.
- November: Portraits and Maritime Landscapes
- This month we will explore the works on view in Isaac Sheffield: Portraits from New London’s Whaling Era, the first exhibition to focus on this Connecticut native artist.
- December: Cycles of the Seasons
- Inspired by the mixed media works on view in Lydia Viscardi: Time Takes Time, participants will create their own 2D and 3D seasonal creations.
