Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art will be closed Monday, May 13, to prepare for the visit of Antiques Roadshow. We will return to normal hours of operation Wednesday, May 15.

Explore the boundaries between abstraction and realism in this afternoon painting workshop with guest artist Oluwatobi Adewumi. Echoing his Connection series, Adewumi will demonstrate how to combine reflective, bold colors and cyclical symmetries to create a unique visual interaction. The technique produces paintings that take on an assembly of organic and mechanical movements through repetition of shapes and lines. During this workshop, each guest will create their own geometry-inspired paintings with step-by-step instruction.
