Join Intuit on the third Thursday of the month 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, teaching artist and museum educator Paulina Lopez will lead a discussion and facilitate a workshop inspired by artist Frank Jones. In the virtual workshop, participants will create their own prints inspired by Jones’ vibrant “Devil House” drawings.
