Celebrate Making History: 200 Years of American Art from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts with an al fresco introduction to watercolor sketching!
The session begins with a guided tour led by Jeffrey Richmond-Moll, PEM’s George Putnam Curator of American Art, who will offer an exclusive look at the iconic works in the exhibition. Afterward, participants will engage in a creative workshop led by artist Jessica Yurwitz of Slow River Studio.

This class is perfect for beginners with no painting experience, or those returning to art after a break. All supplies are provided, and participants will take home essential materials so they can continue painting at home.
In the event of rain, this class will take place in PEM’s Create Space Studios.
