SMI is pleased to collaborate with Montclair Art Museum’s “Draw Along.” This event provides fun activities for every skill level. There will be live models and outrageous still-life stations in Leir Hall, and an open studio for portraiture. SMI artists will be available for advice in all locations. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own dry supplies, but basic drawing supplies will be available. Come and try your hand at drawing from a clothed model or an unusual still-life!
This program is part of MAM’s Free First Thursday Nights, held every month from October through June, 5-9 p.m. We invite you to join us for an evening of free art and dynamic programming.
