Doris After Dark! February 25, 2026
February 25 @ 5:00 pm - February 26 @ 8:30 pm
Join us for a new monthly late-night programming series at the Doris Ulmann Galleries that brings creativity and community together in fun new ways! The February event lineup starts at 5:00pm with a gallery talk hosted by Director and Curator, Dr. Kelsey Frady Malone, highlighting Our Land, a painting by African-American artist Charles W. White that is on loan to the Doris Ulmann Galleries for the 2025-2026 academic year.
The talk will be followed by a portrait painting workshop at 7:00 inspired by White’s painting. Workshop participants will explore how visual elements and stylistic choices can communicate a subject’s values and character (such as strength, resilience, power, tenderness, and empathy) and then practice those skills by creating their own self-portrait with intention and agency – showcasing the facets of themselves that they value the most. Pizza will be served between the gallery talk and the workshop, so you can plan to hang at the Galleries all night!
No art expertise is required; all workshop supplies are provided. Space is limited in the workshop, so advanced registration is required. Email malonek2@berea.edu to reserve your spot. These events are free and open to the public and guests of all ages. Doris After Dark is made possible in part by grant funding provided by The Art Bridges Foundation.
