Paint Night : Moon Jar Meditations

This month's paint night continues our celebration of AAPI Heritage Month! Join us and paint your own moon jar portrait inspired by the works of currently displayed artist Kyong Oh and renowned Korean painter and abstract artist Kim Whanki (1913-1974).

Moon jars are a type of traditional Korean white porcelain made during the Joseon period. Favored for their elegance and simplicity, they carry great significance to Korean culture and identity today.

Through an exploration of geometrical round shapes and small dotted patterns, join our curator and resident art historian Kelly Cook for an evening of peaceful contemplation, the celebration of simple expressions of joy and a mini-lesson in Korean art history!

‘Paint Night’ at Gallery B612 is a workshop-style experience where you can come and paint in a relaxing environment after a long day’s work. In this instructor-guided class, you will be seated and follow along with the group and also free to go at your own pace and own style.

We offer refreshments such as hot teas, water, and carbonated drinks.

All painting materials are provided.

We can't wait to see you in the studio!
