Drawing Closer: Ladies First

The Manton Study Center for Works on Paper welcomes artists of all experience and skill levels to find inspiration in thematic selections from the Clark’s collection of works on paper. The Clark has recently made major acquisitions of works by women artists, so this July, we have chosen to spotlight some of those new works—alongside longtime Clark collection favorites—with a selection of prints, drawings, and photographs all created by women. Enjoy an open session to participate in the tradition of copying earlier artworks or choose to practice fundamentals and explore ideas. Basic materials are provided. Artists bringing their own supplies should note that only graphite pencils are allowed in the Study Center.
