Paint a lost masterpiece at The CJM with this hands-on painting workshop presented in conjunction with "Looted." Exhibition artists Dorota Mytych, Tracy Grubbs, Jessica Houston, and Marcia Teusink will instruct participants on how to repaint some of the looted artworks featured in the exhibition, including paintings by the great-grandfather of local Bay Area resident Elizabeth Rynecki.
"Looted" reflects on the history of Polish-owned paintings stolen by Nazis during the Holocaust, and features videos of the four artists painting and then erasing artworks from Poland's national database of looted art. Become part of reclaiming and enlivening these lost works by creating your own version of a lost art piece, guided by the artists.
All materials will be provided. Painting can be a messy process, so dress appropriately. The workshop is ideal for ages 16+, and some painting experience is recommended. Following the workshop, learn more about the works and the creation of the exhibition during an artist talk.
