ABOUT P.S. ARTS FAMILY ART NIGHTS AT JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT: KING PLEASURE^© LA
‍

Facilitated by Los Angeles-based arts education nonprofit, P.S. ARTS, Family Art Night is an evening of hands-on artmaking inspired by the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat and led by a P.S. ARTS Teaching Artist. After visiting the exhibition, families are invited to explore, imagine, and create their own neo-expressionist artwork in the courtyard outside of the galleries. All supplies are provided, participation is free of charge and no previous art experience is required. Sessions are 45 minutes long and start at 6 PM.

Family Art Night is made possible through generous gifts from Boardwalk Pictures, GRoW at Annenberg, TodayTix, Turnaround Arts, and the Basquiat family.
