Community Conversations On Race: Acrylic Painting

With Local Artist Monet Brady

Local artist Monet Brady will teach four classes in acrylic painting on Fridays Sept. 18th & 25th and Fridays Oct. 23rd & 30th.

Local Artist Monet Brady will guide participants in creating a new painting each week. During this time, we will have a Q&A with her to talk about her experience in the art world and how her race may have affected it.
This program is part of the Community Conversations on Race.

Each session is a new painting - you do not need to attend all four sessions!

A large square brush, medium round brush, and small detail brush are recommended for use. Supplies are not required; you are welcome to just watch the sessions, but if you'd like to participate, you'll want at least the basic supplies.
