Jean-Michel Basquiat Inspired Mixed Media Workshop

Make your own mixed media painting, inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat in this NYC art class!



2 hours Location East Village Class size 10 to 150 guests   $65 - $85 ($65 for Public Class; $85 for Private Class)

Explore the bold and powerful world of Jean-Michel Basquiat in this hands-on NYC art class. Basquiat shook the New York art scene in the 1980s with his electric mix of graffiti, crowns, skulls, and cryptic words — and now you can channel his fearless style into your own artwork.
Your session begins with an engaging art history introduction, giving you insight into Basquiat’s life, inspirations, and how he transformed the downtown art world. Then, guided by a professional artist, you’ll create your own mixed-media piece using paint, oil pastels, and acrylic markers, layering words, symbols, and color just as Basquiat did.
This Basquiat-inspired workshop is perfect for beginners, so no prior art experience is necessary and perfect for date nights, friend gatherings, and team-building events.
Leave with a one-of-a-kind piece of art — and a deeper appreciation for one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

Recent reviews of Jean-Michel Basquiat Inspired Mixed Media Workshop

  • 5/5 from Anonymized ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: What a cool way to learn about art history while you make art. I love how much I gained from just this one event. I learned a lot (more than I did in my undergrad art history courses) and getting to create something without worrying about cleaning everything up after made the experience way better than when I make art at home. 10/10 will for sure be back.
