Drawing Night at CIMA

 

April 19, 2016

Join us for a special Drawing Night, in collaboration with the New York Studio School, opening CIMA’s unique and intimate setting to students and artists and encouraging them to interact with, analyze, and draw inspiration from Giorgio Morandi’s works. Painter Graham Nickson, Dean of the NYSS and originator of that institution’s famed Drawing Marathon, returns to CIMA to lead a second such program. He will open with reflections on drawing, close study, and Morandi. Materials will be provided by the legendary Italian papermaker Fabriano, maker of the artist paper that Morandi himself used. Currently celebrating the 750th anniversary of papermaking in Fabriano Italy, the company has also donated graphite pencils from the traditional Austrian manufacturer Cretacolor.

Limited to 30 participants. Priority given to CIMA Members and current NYSS students, and those who did not have the chance to participate in the November Drawing Night. $20 contribution requested for those not affiliated with either institution.
