Saber sketch with the New York Jedi

 
Members of the New York Jedi: Light Saber Enthusiasts Collective will be bringing their extensive experience in martial arts-based stage combat to the League’s Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery on three Thursday nights this winter.  League members, students, and friends can draw and otherwise attempt to render the swashbuckling action as trained performers using custom light sabers practice and act out scenes of derring-do.

Bring your brightest pencils and darkest charcoal (dry media only, no paint) and have fun with the challenge of drawing compelling combinations of movement and light.

Saber Sketch illuminates the Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery on:

January 26, 7-10 pm
February 16, 7-10 pm
March 8, 7-10 pm

 

 
The cost to sketch the saberists is just $5 per session. TIckets available in the League office. 

Alternatively, you can participate by joining the event as a saberist-in-training ($10 cash at the door, sabers will be provided on a first-come-first-serve basis).

Seeds of the League:
Teaching the Language of Art in the Community

This new League program puts League student artists in classrooms and community venues to teach underserved students the language of art.

Through Seeds of the League, the League’s tradition of teaching art to anyone with the interest is extended into the broader New York City community in public schools and New York City Parks Department locations. At a time when arts education is ever more limited by budget constraints, Seeds of the League introduces children to art making, encouraging self-expression and creativity. At the same time, the program continues the League’s long commitment to putting our artists to work.
