YOUTH ART MAKING

Bring the family and exercise your imagination and creativity by making art at the Speed! All ages are welcome, and all materials provided. Free as part of Sunday Showcase and no registration required. Even better, you can come and go as you please while the activity is open!

January’s Art Lab: Bert Hurley, a virtually unknown African American artist from Kentucky, was a man of many talents. He worked as an elevator operator, fire warden, writer, and illustrator. Hurley also painted portraits, many of which are lost today. For this Art Lab, we will create Reverse Self-Portraits. Please bring an 8x 10 printed image of yourself or bring an image to be photocopied.
