Pastel Painting Workshop with NYAC

Wednesday, August 17
6pm

Join the New York Adventure Club for an exclusive after-hours pastel painting workshop at the AKC Museum of the Dog!

Led by award-winning artist Karen Miura and her dog, Lucy, our fun and relaxed artistic experience will include:

  • Private access to the AKC Museum after the doors close to the public

  • A step-by-step demonstration on pastel painting dogs — bring a photo of your pet, or use Lucy as your muse!

  • A chance afterward to play with Lucy and browse the museum’s collection that commemorates, signifies, and celebrates the human-canine relationship through fine art and artifacts, and dynamic exhibits and activities

  • An opportunity to visit the museum's gift shop before heading out

All painting supplies will be provided, and all art can be taken home!

 

*For guests who want to paint a picture of their pet, please bring a 5x7 or 6x8 Head Shot of your pet, along with a black and white photocopy of that photo

**Pets are not allowed inside the museum

***All interested are welcome, no painting experience is required
