STEAM Activities at the Burchfield Penney Art Center

Inspired by the works and methods of Leonardo da Vinci and Charles E. Burchfield, these hands-on art-making sessions will explore the intersection of art and science. Each workshop will guide participants through a creative project that connects to the legacies of these two remarkable artists.
