Facing History: Be the Artist, Youth Program September 27, 2008

Local school-age youth are invited to participate in a two-hour art class to better understand the paintings of Kehinde Wiley, one of the artists featured in “RECOGNIZE! Hip Hop and Contemporary Portraiture.”

Registered participants will take a guided tour of Wiley’s artwork and then create self-portraits based on the main ideas from his work. This program is recommended for youth ages 10 to 14, accompanied by an adult.

Space is limited; please call (202) 633-8501 to register. This event takes place at the National Portrait Gallery's Education Center, first floor, room E151.
