Chicago, IL 60642

Join Intuit on the third Thursday of the month for Art After Work, a free series of drop-in art-making workshops inspired by outsider and self-taught art and artists. For the last Art After Work of 2020, museum educator Hannah Heller will lead a discussion and facilitate a workshop inspired by the portraiture created by self-taught artist Inez Nathaniel Walker. In the workshop, Heller will focus on what Nathaniel Walker does and does not emphasize in her portraits and what these details might reveal about Inez and her subjects.
