Description
Calling all budding artists: Evergreen Museum & Library is offering sketching sessions throughout the museum. The session is for 90 minutes and focuses on a single room. A docent will be on hand to answer any questions about the objects on display as you find a point of inspiration.
This session will focus on Evergreen's Bakst Theatre, which began as a gymnasium in the 1880s and then was converted to a theater in the 1920s by Léon Bakst, the Russian painter, set designer, and costumer for the Ballets Russes. A docent will be on hand to answer any questions about the room, collections, and history of the house and its inhabitants.
In order to protect the collection, only pencils or colored pencils can be used when sketching inside the house. Any type of water pens are not allowed. Supplies are not provided with purchase of ticket.
