FREE VIRTUAL ART MAKING WITH PRINCETON UNIVERSITY
The Arts Council of Princeton partners with the Princeton University Art Museum to provide free virtual art-making classes. Weekly classes are taught by ACP artist-instructor Barbara DiLorenzo over Zoom. With an emphasis on drawing with pastel on paper, each week’s lesson in this series will be inspired by an artwork in the Museum’s collections that depicts light.
This series is part of Arts and Health Mercer, a monthlong collaboration among Mercer County arts and cultural organizations that celebrates the vital role art plays in our health and well-being. Visit the Arts and Health Mercer website for a full listing of related events.
