Parents: Did you know we have drawing workshops for adults?

Join us for sketching and conversation in the galleries. Led by practicing artists and museum educators, this series of workshops integrates art history and studio art practices.

The workshop is free, but space is limited to 35 participants per session. No advance registration is required; participation is on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to the limited number of spaces, organized groups cannot be accommodated. All drawing materials are provided. Designed for all skill levels; beginning and advanced participants welcome. Ages 18 and over. For more information, contact drawingsalon@nga.gov.
