In this drop-in workshop, we’re getting experimental and using our bodies as paintbrushes. The challenge: Use any body part except your fingers! Will you use your elbow or knee as a palette knife? Your shoulder, heel, or toe as a sponge? The choice is yours, and the possibilities are endless. 

This activity is perfect for a fun date or night out with friends. Body paint is water-based and nontoxic.  

Wet paintings cannot enter the galleries. You can leave your artwork in the Art Lab until 8 pm. Please plan accordingly. 

This event is part of Free Thursday Nights. Galleries are open late and free from 5 to 9 pm. The evening also includes Art Club, featuring free creative programs in the Art Lab.
