Basketball: On the Court and Canvas (Workshop)
Following the talk with Harlem Globetrotter Brawley “Cheese” Chisholm and artist and author Jamel Robinson, join a hands-on art workshop inspired by gesture and motion, preceded by a live ball-handling demonstration. Experiment with bouncing, pressing, and rolling basketballs (whole and deconstructed) in paint to create expressive, sports-infused collaged works.
Recommended for teens (14+) and adults. Workshop capacity is limited; advance registration is recommended.

Jamel Robinson is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, assemblage, sculpture, installation, poetry, and performance.

His art has been acquired by major institutions including the Hudson River Museum and the Bunker Artspace Museum. His solo exhibition Beauty from Ashes at the Hudson River Museum, featured in The New York Times and CBS News, brought national attention to his practice.
