5-Day Studio Workshop
(for ages 13-18) In this intensive 5-day workshop, aspiring young artists have an opportunity to work with Philadelphia-based artist Jessica Hoffman and respond to objects from the related exhibition. Using cyanotypes, image transfers, and other photographic processes, students explore the real and the imagined in art and create a multi-dimensional documentary based on their own memories.

Students from local schools, rising freshmen to grade 12, may apply. No previous art experience is necessary, and all materials are provided by the Hirshhorn.

Note: Students must have registered for all 5 sessions beginning with the August 11 session and have met application requirement. Apply online at artlab.si.edu by August 1. For more information, call 202-633-3382 or e-mail hmsgeducation@si.edu.
