Calling all artists! Join us for an afternoon of art history fun, where you can learn about different artists and new art skills and techniques!

We offer two sessions of Art Exploration each month so that even more artists can participate.

In May, we will learn about Janet Sobel, a Ukrainian-born American Abstract Expressionist painter who pioneered the drip painting technique before Jackson Pollock and even influenced his art. Come ready to get messy and throw some paint!

Please register each child attending separately and only register for one session each month, as Wednesday and Thursday will be the same.

Please email Laura Johnson at ljohnson@ccplonline.org or call the Potomac Branch at 301-375-7375 with any questions.
