Join us for the Muse & Make Series, a relaxed, drop-in art making experience at 21c Museum Hotel Lexington! On select Sundays in August & September, explore the intersection of art and inspiration as you create in the galleries alongside curated still lifes, our current exhibition, ‘Still, Life! Meaning and Mending in Contemporary Art,’ and collection of site-specific installations. Each session will feature a local teaching artist offering guidance on techniques in plein air and still life approaches. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just exploring your creative side, this free-form event is designed to spark your imagination and offer a welcoming space to make art in community!
