Muscarelle Museum Events

Enjoy a fun-filled day of art exploration for all ages at our second annual Community Art Day! We’ll have art activities, live music performances, food trucks, William & Mary student art vendors, and more at the Williamsburg Community Building.    

From brushstrokes to drips and palette knives to spray cans, this lecture explores the role of the artist’s mark in several iconic paintings from the 20th- and 21st-century collections of the Virginia Museum of Fine Art and the Muscarelle Museum of Art.

This workshop introduces students to the fundamentals of animation using easily accessible tools: their smartphones, a simple animation app, and basic drawing materials.

Join us to learn more about the origins of the American movement of pastoral landscape painting, including examples from the collections of the Muscarelle and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

Students will learn drawing foundations through observation of human-made and nature-made items, utilizing charcoal to render the elements.
