“It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not.”

- Jean-Michel Basquiat

Jean-Michel Basquiat took the New York art scene by storm in the 1980s, when he became famous for his mixed-media works incorporating crowns, skulls and cryptic words. He took his inspiration from a combination of jazz, boxing, pop culture, anatomical drawings in Grey's Anatomy, and life in New York in the 1980s. Learn about Jean-Michel Basquiat and create your own painting inspired by his work, using paint and oil pastels on canvas.

Tickets includes art history lesson, coveralls to protect your clothing, and all art materials.
