Spatial Structures in Painting: Planning Interior Spaces and Landscapes

On Friday, August 9, Manifest Drawing Center will welcome artist Matt Klos to our Central Parkway facility, where he will be conducting a 3-hour public demonstration of his painting technique and process (includes a 30-minute intermission).

Our Drawing Center promotes and explores drawing, photography, and related activities as rich and culturally significant art forms through the pursuit of educational hands-on activities focused on visual literacy, critical thinking, and skill development.

Manifest's new facility, "M1" at 3464 Central Parkway, provides multiple studio classrooms, private lesson space, a darkroom, a film processing room, and a multi-purpose lecture and class meeting space as well as on-site parking, grounds, and exterior spaces in which to relax, discuss, and make art.
