Join us for an inclusive workshop for teens and young adults (ages 13-24) which focuses on Warhol’s pop portraits of famous icons. Participants will visit our galleries before the museum is open to the public, and create their own collage and silkscreen portraits in our studio. Attendance is limited to 20 people, and pre-registration is required. A visual schedule and an orientation video will be provided prior to the event and participants will have a chance to discuss any other accommodations needed.

Virtual Sensory Friendly Workshop: Appropriated Images

A square painting depicting four flowers. Each flower is painted with a flat field of vibrant color rather than a detailed, realistic rendering that creates differentiation between the petals and pistils. The flowers are portrayed in bright pink, orange, and red tones, and in the center of each a cluster of black shading suggests a pistil. The grass and stems in the background are rendered in deep green and black.
