Join Intuit for Art After Work, a free series of facilitated art-making workshops inspired by outsider and self-taught art and artists from the museum’s collections and exhibitions. This month, Intuit Teacher Fellow and art educator Dorothy Broers will facilitate a workshop inspired by self-taught artist Eugene Von Bruenchenhein. In the in-person workshop, participants will survey Von Bruenchenhein’s vibrant and fantastic paintings to make their own layered artworks using printmaking techniques.
