The Manton Study Center for Works on Paper welcomes artists of all experience and skill levels to find inspiration in thematic selections from the Clark’s collection of works on paper. August’s theme, “Dog Days,” features prints, drawings, and photographs in which artists illustrate the aesthetic and lived effects of characteristically summer weather, from high temps and torrential downpours to cool, breezy nights. Enjoy an open session to participate in the tradition of copying earlier artworks or choose to practice fundamentals and explore ideas.

Basic materials are provided. Artists bringing their own supplies should note that only graphite pencils are allowed in the Study Center.

Free. Advance registration required. Capacity is limited.
