Join us for Open Studio, a monthly drop-in program designed to help you connect with your creative side. This program encourages participants to engage—in guided or freestyle ways—with materials inspired by the themes, techniques, and media of a featured work of art. This season, we’ll focus on Ephiphanic Mass (Epitaph) by Julie Mehretu. Each month there will be a different project, allowing for new ways to connect with this work. Our Studio Host will be available to guide you through the month’s project or support you in your own creative endeavors. All materials are provided. Drop in when you can and stay as long as you like. https://raclinmurphymuseum.nd.edu/visit/events/2025/03/02/open-studio-3/
