Sketching Sessions
This month we’re drawing in the Medieval World galleries with instructor Rokhsareh Alvandi. An instructor is available to help develop your sketching skills—whether you’re a beginner, student, or practicing artist of any age. Live music by Peabody Institute students enlivens the spaces and keeps the creativity flowing. Just bring your interest in drawing and we will provide the materials!
