For the third consecutive year, Studio Incamminati presents a Facebook Live model painting demonstration.  School Dean Dan Thompson works in graphite, School Instructor works in relief sculpture and School Fellow works in charcoal. During the four-hour broadcast, Facebook users around the globe are encouraged to make comments and ask questions about the painting process. Faculty members Natalie Italiano and noted figurative artist Jon deMartin moderate the proceedings, taking questions, offering insights and getting answers from the artists.

What could be more fascinating than painting outdoor figures with other like-minded artists? Find out at Studio Incamminati's first-ever plein air portrait competition.

In their lifelong pursuit of art, artists often focus on the "hows" of acquiring skills and knowledge, but not the "whys," "wheres" and "whats." "Why do you create?” “Where do you apply your skills?” "What images are vital to produce?” In this series of hour-long evening talks, internationally renowned thought leaders discuss personal creative philosophies in a thought-provoking conversation on professional practice. All presentations take place in Studio Incamminati's fifth-floor studio. The cost is $10. ALL AREA ART STUDENTS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND AT NO CHARGE. HOWEVER, THEY MUST REGISTER ONLINE AND DISPLAY A VALID STUDENT ID AT THE DOOR.

Studio Incamminati's Lunch Lecture series offers artist-centric topics from art history to anatomy to photographing artwork. It is free and open to the public. All Lunch Lectures begin at 12:15 p.m. in the fifth-floor studio. 

Continuing our partnership with Blick Art Materials, sponsor of our Facebook Live events, Blick's Philadelphia store, 1330 Chestnut St., hosts a series of live-model painting demonstrations by Studio Incamminati faculty and fellows. As they paint, the artists answer questions about how the school continues to revitalize tradition for the contemporary realist artist.
