Stop by the Ames Family Atrium between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to get a firsthand look at the art-making process. Each session provides the opportunity to engage and interact with a different Northeast Ohio maker during pop-up demonstrations and activities. See their work unfold and learn how artists create. Explore a related selection of authentic objects from the CMA’s Education Art Collection in a pop-up Art Up Close session. See, think, and wonder.

Join artist Dinara Mirtalipova (opens in a new tab) as she demonstrates her art-making process. Watch as she uses gouache to paint different scenes of a story in her distinct style. Explore some examples of her artwork in her published illustrated books and try your hand at creating your own watercolor to take home with you. This program is inspired by Epic of the Northwest Himalayas: Pahari Paintings from the “‘Shangri’ Ramayana,” on view in the Julia and Larry Pollock Focus Gallery.
