Create (and de-stress!) with virtual art classes inspired by our collections.

For the summer installment of our popular virtual art-making series, explore watercolors with guidance from artist-instructor Barbara DiLorenzo. Each week’s lesson will be inspired by a work in the Museum’s collections.  

We’re kicking things off with Impressionism and Claude Monet’s depiction of his treasured gardens in Water Lilies and Japanese Bridge (1899)
