The Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University will offer a variety of virtual programs this fall as the museum remains closed to the public due to the coronavirus pandemic and in-person programs are suspended until further notice.
The series Saturday Sparks features two art workshops for adults on Zoom. On Oct. 24, join Wes Sherman for “Impression Collage,” which explores techniques for rubbings to capture different textures and forms.
Tom Rutledge presents “Watercolors: At Sea” on Nov. 14, guiding participants in advancing their skills by creating their own interpretations of a nautical scene from the Zimmerli’s collection.
No experience is necessary and all are welcome, but space is limited and sessions ($15 to $40) fill quickly. Participants must provide their own materials; supply lists are provided following registration.
