Drawing Closer: Up Front

The Manton Study Center for Works on Paper welcomes artists of all experience and skill levels to find inspiration in thematic selections from the Clark’s collection of works on paper. This month’s selection spotlighting title and cover pages, frontispieces, and ex-libris bookplates directs our attention to the images we often see first but might flip right past. Enjoy an open session to participate in the tradition of copying earlier artworks or choose to practice fundamentals and explore ideas.

Basic materials are provided. Artists bringing their own supplies should note that only graphite pencils are allowed in the Study Center.

Free. Advance registration required. Capacity is limited. Register: clarkart.edu/events
