The House of Sweden's Art & Crafts Workshop for the Family is a hands-on arts and crafts workshop provided by the Embassy of Sweden. This month focuses on Hilma af Klint, recognized as one of the most important and inventive artists of the 20th century. When she started making vibrant and symbolic paintings in 1906, her work was radically unlike anything that had come before her.

Today, her paintings are displayed at museums across the world, including at the Guggenheim museum in New York, where in 2018 the 'Hilma af Klint: Paintings for the Future' exhibition became the best attended exhibition in the institution's history. Recently, the Glenstone Museum in Maryland acquired Hilma af Klint's series 'Tree of Knowledge, 1913–1915,' which is featured in the exhibition 'Iconoclasts: Selections from Glenstone's Collection.'

Registration not required. Art supplies provided by House of Sweden.
