Intro to Oil Painting with Abigail Lindquist
Saturday, February 28
10:30am-1:30pm, AMP Program Room
Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Kahlo, YOU! Many of the greatest artists in history worked with oil paints for their vibrant array of colors…and ability to easily hide mistakes! AMP Educator and Artist Abigail Lindquist will show you basic color mixing techniques and help you create a color wheel mixed from primary colors. As you paint your very own still life, the workshop will cover everything from the basics to safety and storage.

Bundle up and join Greenwich Historical Scoiety for a peaceful winter adventure in the forest with Greenwich Botanical Center! Children will explore the quiet beauty of the winter woods, learning to spot signs of how animals adapt and survive in the colder months. Along the way, we’ll gently gather natural materials—like acorns, feathers, seed pods, and leaves—that will become the building blocks of our own nature mandalas.
In the Botanical Center classroom, children will use their gathered treasures to create beautiful, temporary art. Families are welcome to take photos of these unique creations before we return all foraged items to the forest for the animals that need them. This is a wonderful way for children to connect with nature, practice mindfulness, and celebrate the magic of the season!
Join us on Wednesday, January 28th at 1:00 PM for an artist talk and guided tour of Genesis, a retrospective solo exhibition celebrating the work of Jane Cooper. This exhibition is presented in recognition of Jane’s Best in Show award from the 2024 Annual Members’ Exhibition.
During the talk, Jane will guide visitors through her printmaking journey, beginning with her first monotype, Girl with Apple (2004)—a tender portrait of her daughter—and tracing the evolution of her practice through to her most recent works created as a studio member at CCP. The tour offers a unique, firsthand look at the ideas, techniques, and milestones that have shaped her artistic path.
The event will also feature a live demonstration of Jane’s gold leaf technique, a distinctive element found throughout many of the prints on view in Genesis. This is a special opportunity to engage with the artist, gain insight into her process, and experience the exhibition through her perspective.
Join us for an evening with acclaimed artist Julio Valdez for a special screening of his new documentary, Mapping the Layers, followed by an artist talk and Q&A. The film, which premiered on November 20, 2025, offers an intimate look into Valdez’s artistic practice, tracing the conceptual, historical, and material layers that shape his work across painting, printmaking, and installation.

Join us for an intimate duo performance by composer and percussionist Sarah Hennies and bassist Tristan Kasten-Krause, presented in connection with Zak Prekop: Durations. Hennies and Kasten-Krause will present a 40-60 minute set of experimental music within the Museum’s galleries, offering a meditative, resonant experience that blurs the boundaries between sound, space, and visual art.
Sarah Hennies is known for her immersive and durational performances that explore psychoacoustic phenomena, queerness, and the act of listening. Her duo with Kasten-Krause combines sensitivity and restraint, crafting quiet, expansive works that unfold gradually over time.
This event is presented in conjunction with Zak Prekop: Durations (on view through January 11, 2026), an exhibition exploring visual rhythm, repetition, and the temporality of painting. It also marks the launch of Zak Prekop’s first museum publication. This fully illustrated, 32-page softcover catalogue features bold new abstract paintings by the artist, along with an interview between Prekop and curator Eduardo Andres Alfonso. The catalogue will be available for purchase at the event.
