Visitors of all ages are invited to Amy Sherald: American Sublime. Explore the exhibition, then drop in for a live figure drawing session. Grab some pencils, take a seat, and sketch as live models pose in a variety of postures and costumes throughout the day. Whether you're a seasoned artist or picking up a pencil for the first time, this is your chance to observe, create, and experiment with making portraits.
Amy Sherald’s work is part of a long tradition of American portrait painting, but she focuses on Black Americans, a group that has often been left out of art history. She paints everyday people in a way that highlights their inner lives and unique identities.
Through her portraits, Sherald explores what it means to be American today. She believes that imagination shapes the way we see the world, and her art invites us to see new possibilities.
