6:30pm - 9pm Willem de Kooning De Kooning's pictures typify the vigorous gestural style of the movement and he, perhaps, did more than any of his contemporaries to develop a radically abstract style of painting that fused Cubism, Surrealism and Expressionism. All Supplies included. $40 SOLD OUT |

November 9th 2018
6:30pm - 9pm Agnes Martin Martin's use of the grid along with her focus on non-representation released the artist from the burden of traditional subject matter while allowing her to explore infinite variations of subtle color. The resulting freedom of her artwork was at odds with the monastic restraint of her daily life. $40 |

November 23rd 2018
6:30pm - 9pm Robert Rauschenberg Preferring to leave the interpretation of the works to his viewers, Rauschenberg allowed chance to determine the placement and combination of the different found images and objects in his artwork such that there were no predetermined arrangements or meanings embedded within the works. $40 |

December 7th 2018
6:30pm - 9pm Jasper Johns Rather than direct representation or abstraction, Johns made signs, like flags and targets, the main images in his works. The "things the mind already knows" were his ideal subject because of the host of varied meanings each carried with it. This fostered the perceptual ambiguity and semiotic play at the heart of his works. $40 |

December 21st 2018
6:30pm - 9pm Helen Frankenthaler Frankenthaler applied her breakthrough soak-stain technique to other painterly media, most notably, watered-down acrylic, which she used in place of turpentine-thinned paint starting in the 1960s. Subsequently, she also sought to replicate the method's effects in printmaking, creating woodcuts that not only resembled paintings, but also achieved the misty, watercolor-like quality of her color washes. $40 |

January 4th 2018
6:30pm - 9pm Shepard Fairey Often described as a Street artist, Shepard Fairey's name first began to appear in the news for wheat pasting (a method of adorning public spaces with the artist's own posters by way of a water and wheat mixture—like a wallpaper paste), sticker tagging, and the numerous accompanying arrests that now comprise his official criminal record. $40 |

January 18th 2018
6:30pm - 9pm Henri Matisse Matisse used pure colors and the white of exposed canvas to create a light-filled atmosphere in his Fauve paintings. Rather than using modeling or shading to lend volume and structure to his pictures, Matisse used contrasting areas of pure, unmodulated color. These ideas continued to be important to him throughout his career. $40 |
