Portrait Painting: Amy Sherald

June 6, 2025, 4:00pm–6:00pm

Join us at the Art Cart for free workshops all summer long.

Join us as we learn about the life and work of American portraitist, Amy Sherald, in celebration of her groundbreaking exhibit at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Kristy will lead the group through the basics of portrait painting as we create artworks inspired by Sherald’s signature style of simplified realism. If you would like to paint a specific person, please bring a photo reference of them to the workshop.
