A monthly evening gathering for adults to unwind and create
Cost: $18/non-member, $15/member 

Join us for Speed Social, a creative happy hour with drawing, easy listening, conversation, a cash bar, and the perfect amount of chill. All materials are provided for drawing, and no experience is required. This month we’re celebrating the special exhibition Abstract Expressionists: The Women (on view through August 30) with Chris Reitz, Director of the Hite Institute of Art and Design at the University of Louisville and a private tour and discussion.

This guided tour explores what “abstraction” means in art, how modern artists and critics invented the concept, and how historians are reconsidering it today. You’ll learn about the origins of modern abstract painting, about its redeployment in postwar Abstract Expressionism, and about the women who were central to both.

Chris Reitz is Director of the Hite Institute of Art and Design and Associate Professor of Critical and Curatorial Studies at the University of Louisville. He is the author of the book Martin Kippenberger: Everything is Everywhere.

Your ticket includes drawing materials and access to the artwork on view in the North building, including Abstract Expressionists: The Women and vanessa german: ...do you remember when you were the sky? Drawing in the galleries is only permitted on the second floor.
