Join Inwood Artworks for a fun Paint and Sip at Inwood Art Works Studio! We will celebrate the fall harvest with a 11 x 14 painting . Sit back and relax and let’s paint!

Paint and Sip at the Studio is the perfect way to relax, meet uptown locals, and get creative right in your own neighborhood. Everyone is welcomed. Bring a date, friends, or family to unwind and get inspired. The session will include step by step instruction and all the supplies you need to design your own masterpiece!

What better place to paint than at a Studio! Paint and Sip will be led by a local teaching artist. Adults will be amazed at what they can create with little help from the instructor. No painting experience is necessary, just a willingness to have fun. Sessions will last 2.5 hours and paintings will be completed in Acrylic on canvas. As we begin getting our creative juices flowing, applicants will be encouraged to share their successes. It is suggested that the attendees where clothes they don’t mind getting paint on. By the end of the session artwork will be ready to take home and hang on the wall.

There is no experience necessary! Just a willingness to have fun!

Hispanic Society: Panel Discussion on Sandy Rodriguez “Tierra Insurgente”

Join The Hispanic Society for a panel discussion with Sandy Rodriguez and invited guest speakers about her latest exhibition, “Tierra Insurgente”.

Tierra Insurgente is the first New York City solo exhibition by Los Angeles–based Chicana artist Sandy Rodriguez. The exhibition brings Rodriguez’s contemporary practice into dialogue with rarely exhibited maps, manuscripts, globes, and codices from the Hispanic Society’s historic collection. Rodriguez works on handmade amate bark paper using natural pigments derived from minerals, plants and insects, as her art is rooted in Indigenous Mesoamerican tlacuilo (painter-scribe) traditions. Her paintings, maps and codices collapse centuries of history into a single visual field, connecting early anticolonial uprisings with contemporary struggles around migration, policing, racial justice, and climate crisis.

This event is free of charge. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to view the exhibition.

GUEST PANELISTS:

Diana Magaloni – Deputy Director at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Head Curator of the Department of Art of the Ancient Americas and Director of the museum’s Conservation Center. Specialist in Mesoamerican art and curatorial practice.

Veronica Pesantes – Writer, connector, thought leader, visionary, producer, curator, advisor, and art educator. Founder of Miami Art Hang and Decolonizing Project. Specialist in Latinx art and activism.

Ryan Pinchot – Exhibition Co-Curator and Senior Educator at the Hispanic Society. Specialist in Latin American visual culture, decoloniality, and environmental humanities.

Washington Heights Walking Tour: Audubon Mural Project (Open House New York)

Ever wonder about who created the Audubon bird murals on security gates and apartment buildings in Washington Heights? Who are the artists? Where are they from?

Art historian, tour guide, and Northern Manhattan resident Mary-Beth Shine will answer these questions and many more with this fascinating

Participants will also learn a bit about Northern Manhattan’s culturally diverse and thriving community along the way. Things have changed a bit since John James Audubon lived here in the 19th century!

This is an outdoor walking tour of exterior murals with no steps but some uneven terrain. Visitors are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather.
