All Star Weekend: Basquiat Taught Me

With Workshop SLC, in honor of Black History month we highlight what isn’t said enough: you are beautiful! Every single part of you. From creatives like Lena Horne who were forced to enter hotels from the service entrances to artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat who revolutionized what holding your head with your crown on meant, we create self portraits in honor of the historical figures who created fearlessly.

All levels welcome.

In this workshop you will have a mirror to see your reflection, materials to create your piece and be inspired by learning the language of Basquiat’s expression.
