About the Event
Join The Trout Gallery for a Family Night of art! We'll be celebrating the drawings submitted to The Trout Gallery as part of our "Splash of Red" contest.
Born in Pennsylvania, celebrated artist Horace Pippin is known for his paintings depicting the everyday lives of African Americans, his experiences serving in World War I, and stories from the Bible. When he was a boy, Pippin loved to draw. He saw an ad for a drawing contest and entered, winning first prize: a set of artist’s supplies. Even though Horace never took art classes, he taught himself to paint prize-winning pictures. He said that he painted the world exactly as he saw it. If you look closely at Pippin’s pictures, you’ll always find a bit of red somewhere. Pippin believed that everything needs a splash of red!
In honor of Horace Pippin, we invite you to create a drawing or painting…
