A WORKSHOP ARTIST SERIES TO BENEFIT Brooklyn Art Library

Small Talks is our interactive workshop and talk hosted by artists from our community. During each session, one artist will take over our virtual classroom and teach participants how to stay creative during this difficult time. Following every workshop there will be a Q&A for everyone to ask questions and interact with the class as if they would in person! 

Price includes ALL 4 workshops and our artist panel! Proceeds will go to support Brooklyn Art Library and our instructors teaching the class. You will receive an email prior to our first Small Talks session with instructions on joining.
