Prominent artists with regional and national reputations share their experience and knowledge with small groups of students during Visiting Artist Workshops at the Newport Art Museum’s school, the Coleman Center for Creative Studies. Workshops with Dora Atwater Millikin, Ilse Buchert Nesbitt, Jeremy Miranda and Susan Stone are scheduled for Fall 2008 and space is still available in the Millikin, Miranda and Stone sessions.

This workshop for intermediate painters runs September 19 – 21, 10am – 3pm.
Cost is $240 for Museum members; $265 for non-members.
