Women of Picasso: the Artist and His Muses
Thursdays in July and August 6 to 8
The Arts Center’s 2023 Summer programming will emphasize the life and work of Pablo Picasso whose evolution as an artist had an “outsized” influence on art in the 20th Century. 2023 is the fiftieth anniversary of Picasso’s death and institutions throughout the world are mounting exhibitions on his work. Greater Barton Arts will produce several art classes: painting in the style of several periods, building sculpture from found objects, and painting self-portraits based on two of his own most famous. In addition, GBA will host lectures, Spanish meals, a “common read” and discussion of Patrick O’Brian’s biography, and films. For more information consult Greater Barton Arts’ website: www.greaterbartonarts.com or contact Adrien Helm (802) 525-3740.
