Each session is suitable as a standalone course and separate registration is required for each individual session. The Art History Series will take place on the 1st Fridays of the month September through February. Registration open to Cranbury Public Library Cardholders only. Space is limited.

Pop Artists: Warhol, Basquiat and Keith Haring
Join us for an immersive exploration into the personal struggles and groundbreaking achievements of three iconic American artists of the 20th century: Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Drawing inspiration from the pulsating energy of 80's New York, we'll explore the influences and lasting impact of these cultural icons in the realms of pop art and contemporary culture. From Warhol's factory
scene to Haring's subway graffiti and Basquiat's rise from the streets to the galleries, their stories intertwine to form a tapestry of creativity and resilience.We will design a pop art shoe inspired by the colors and themes featured in these artists' works.
