Pop Up: Weaving Creativity

Make art with us in the galleries! These exhibition-based workshops encourage creative inspiration for different activities, so make sure to check out the corresponding galleries. No prior art-making experience is necessary; our friendly staff will happily work with you on your creation. All ages are welcome! Please note, these in-gallery workshops are free with general admission.

These workshops take place on Friday, December 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29.

Textiles have played a significant role in human history. From clothing to tapestries, textiles have provided a creative and exploratory outlet for us. This December, we will delve into the exhibition Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction and explore elements such as line work, color, and pattern, culminating in the creation of a woven art piece.

Bianca Argueta (she/her) is a Salvadoran descendant artist who resides in Los Angeles, California. Argueta received her Painting and Drawing BFA degree from Cal State Long Beach. Her artistic practice investigates inner city life and intergenerational trauma caused by war and a dysfunctional home. In recent work, Argueta samples images from various sources, recollecting memories from childhood that coexist with cartoon characters. Her artistic influences include Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jenny Saville, and Kerry James Marshall.

Masks recommended in galleries. No food or drink in the galleries.
