Artist Tour and Workshop with Ebony Bolt
Join artist Ebony Bolt in the galleries for a discussion of her mixed media work Botanical Dreams in the Concrete Jungle, currently on view in Collection Spotlight: Cityscapes. Learn about Bolt’s practice of sketching people on the NYC subway and transforming them into colorful, patterned artworks. After the conversation, participate in a fun mixed-media workshop where you can hone your own people-sketching skills with the artist.
New York-based artist Ebony Bolt creates prints and patterns inspired by her experience as a CAD print designer in the fashion industry. Her sketchbook illustrations of train commuters—dubbed The Bolt Diaries—are infused with motifs drawn from the city, traditional textiles, and nature.
