NoMAA Labs: Workshops – Intro to Gouache Painting

Join us for NoMAA Labs: Workshops , a monthly workshop and networking series hosted by the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance!

Dive into the vibrant world of gouache painting with Adaley Munoz in an hour-long exploration of this versatile medium. Start with a 15-minute breakdown of what gouache is, the surfaces it works best on, and tips for achieving the right consistency for opacity and layering. Then, use a curated selection of beginner-friendly reference images to create one to two finished works on watercolor paper. Whether you’re an artist looking to expand your practice or a beginner eager to try something new, you’ll leave with completed artworks, an informational leaflet about gouache, and the joy of a new creative experience!

Hispanic Society: Artist Talk: Píntame Angelitos Negros

Artist Talk: Píntame Angelitos Negros
Wednesday, November 13th, 2024 | 6:30pm

Join us for an artist talk where Rose Deler will discuss her installation, “Píntame Angelitos Negros,” the 2024 selection for the Art on the Audubon Terrace in partnership with the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance (NoMAA). The conversation will be moderated by the Executive Director of NoMAA, Dr. Niria E. Leyva-Gutiérrez.

This art installation, “Píntame Angelitos Negros” is inspired by the poem of the same name written by the Venezuelan poet Andrés Eloy Blanco, made famous by Mexican singer Pedro Infante. Deler grew up listening to his records, which her dad frequently played on his record player. She immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic as a baby, and growing up, she did not feel Dominican or American. Listening to this song as a child made her aware that she was not alone in questioning where she was in this American life. This installation will consist of 999 white ceramic angels and a single black ceramic angel, all evenly spaced and attached by wire to the gate on Audubon Terrace. Deler hopes viewers take the time to find that one black angel.
