    Calling all creative adults: find inspiration from artists and artworks and connect with others!

This free, new program starts with a nontraditional tour of the exhibition Jay DeFeo: The Ripple Effect and ends with hands-on art making over refreshments on Level 3. Participants will make clay pieces of their own, inspired by Ron Nagle’s work from the exhibition, Pink Cup.
