Join us for a free art activity lead by Laura Link! Materials, instructions and guidance will be provided for each month’s activity.
This month we draw inspiration from artist Carmen Herrera. Using abstract forms and the color wheel, participants will create simple but striking compositions. By simplifying shapes and choosing a limited color palette, participants will explore what they can make using the mantra ‘less is more’.
Carmen Herrera’s work can be seen at the National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum and Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden—all in Washington, D.C.
Children MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian for the duration of the Free Family Art session. This is a FREE public program. Please RSVP using form below, give us a call at 540.672.7311, OR send us an email.
