Celebrate Making History: 200 Years of American Art from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts with an al fresco introduction to watercolor sketching!

The session begins with a guided tour led by Jeffrey Richmond-Moll, PEM’s George Putnam Curator of American Art, who will offer an exclusive look at the iconic works in the exhibition. Afterward, participants will engage in a creative workshop led by artist Jessica Yurwitz of Slow River Studio.

This class is perfect for beginners with no painting experience, or those returning to art after a break. All supplies are provided, and participants will take home essential materials so they can continue painting at home.
