Sip and sketch in our backyard Biergarten this summer with a monthly series of life drawing classes, open to all levels and accompanied by a refreshing beverage and musical vibes by local DJs.

Learn multimedia techniques and try your hand at various approaches to depicting the human form in a casual class led by Museum teaching artist James Antwine. Plus, enjoy a musical set by DJ InO.
