In this painting workshop, you will create net paintings and paint ceramic pumpkins inspired by the great Yayoi Kusama.
Kusama's work is characterized by polka dots, organic forms, and optical illusions. Your art class will start with a brief art history lesson where you will learn about her artistic journey -- from her career as a young artist in Japan to international artistic stardom. Then you will create your own net paintings and pumpkin sculptures inspired by her work. Your skilled art instructor will walk you through the process of creating your paintings, so you can rest assured if you don't have much artistic skill.
If you're looking for cool art classes in NYC, this hands-on experience will not disappoint. This class also makes for fun team-building activities and birthday party ideas. Get a group together and discover your inner artist!

Recent reviews of Yayoi Kusama Inspired Art Workshop

  • 5/5 from Anthony Mejias, attended Oct 2026: My experience with ArtsClub was great!! Owen and Fern (sic) are great hosts and the intro into the style of artist Yayoi Kusama was very nice. Was expecting to just paint a pumpkin, but was also offered a skull with the pumpkin or a canvas to use. Acrylic paint, paint pens and nail polish were available for use. 5he nailmpolish was a nice touch as it dries fast and can be applied in a fiddly manner. Again very enjoyable and I look forward to attending other of their public events.
  • 5/5 from Talia Cohen, attended Oct 2023: I love ArtsClub! I’m always looking for unique things to do in NYC and this class is one of the best things I’ve done. I’m not an artist at all but it was easy to make a cute pumpkin that I’ll have forever- def gonna do another one!
