No talking. No food and drinks. No paint. 

Come break the rules and say “yes!” to new art experiences at the Carter’s Second Thursdays! Each month you’ll find something different than the last—mingle with fellow art lovers, make art, and meet visiting artists, sometimes with live music and always with themed cocktails inspired by the Carter’s collection. 

This month, experiment with a variety of printmaking techniques inspired by the creative explorations of two artists on view: Rufino Tamayo and Richard Hunt.
