Celebrate color, rhythm, and joy in this Alma Thomas-inspired painting class at ArtsClub’s Dupont Circle studio. Alma Thomas was a trailblazing DC-based artist known for her vibrant, mosaic-like paintings inspired by nature, music, and the night sky. She was the first Black woman to have a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum and the first to have her work displayed in the White House Collection — a true pioneer of modern art.
Your session begins with a brief art history introduction exploring Thomas’ life, inspirations, and groundbreaking achievements. Then, guided by a professional artist, you’ll learn how to translate her signature dabs of color into your own rhythmic composition. Using professional-quality paints and materials, you’ll create a stunning piece ready to display at home.
This class is perfect for beginners and experienced painters alike. It’s a popular choice for team-building events, creative outings, date nights, and birthday parties.
