Let your inner artist out! Join us on Thursday, August 19th at 7:00pm for the latest in our popular Create and Sip Events for Adults with Alexis Starke. This month, we will create an Neo-expressionist painting inspired by New York artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Largely self-taught in the great museums of New York City, Basquiat rose to fame in the 1980’s, bringing the African American experience into the artistic establishment. Each participant will receive a goody bag with chocolates, a mini bottle of wine, paper, inspiration images, and some black acrylic paint. You will also need either acrylic paints and brushes; oil pastels; and/ or chalk pastels. The project will not work without one of these. Please email astarke@piermontlibrary.org with any questions. Our project is designed to be relaxed and beginner friendly but fun for all levels.
