Step inside our new all-ages art-making studio
Here at the Hirshhorn Art School, everyone is an artist. We also believe making art brings us closer to artists, artworks, and ideas.
Join us to explore boundary-breaking artists in graffiti, installation, sculpture, and more. Participate in hands-on art-making and activities inspired by artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Mark Bradford, Joseph Cornell, and Barbara Hepworth.
Find the Hirshhorn Art School on the Museum’s Lower Level. Art School is part studio, part classroom, and part hangout: a hub where artists of all ages can access special guided programs from Wednesdays to Fridays and drop-in studio programming on Saturdays. Whether you’re visiting the Museum or connecting virtually, all our public programs are free.
