Explore the rise of the Mexican modernist movement through paintings in our special exhibition. In this daylong workshop, local artist Peter Marin guides the class in acrylic painting techniques as participants compose their own canvases. All materials included, but feel free to bring your own favorite brushes. For ages 16 and up. There will be a break for lunch.

Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Mexican Modernism from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection

Experience the lives, loves, and influence of two art icons of the 20th century. Few artists have captured the public's imagination with the force of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907–54) and her husband, the Mexican painter and muralist Diego Rivera (1886–1957). The myths that surrounded them in their lifetime arose not only from their significant bodies of work, but also from their friendships (and conflicts) with leading political figures and their passionate, tempestuous personal relationships.
