Art After Work: Hiroyuki Doi

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 Hiroyuki Doi. In the virtual workshop, participants will construct a sketchbook and practice a variety of mindful drawing exercises.
