Robert Noreika, AWS
Fee: no charge
Join Robert Noreika, one of the Northeast’s most recognized and distinguished artists, as he demonstrates how he uses fluid acrylic paints to attain the gestural fluidity in his semi-abstract paintings. Watch as he creates a painting from start to finish while he entertains the audience with plenty of humor and nuggets of artistic wisdom.
