Practice drawing and engage with fellow visitors alongside the skillful artworks of Vincent Valdez. Stop into MASS MoCA’s Research & Development Store to check out a drawing pad and graphite pencil (included in event registration) to use in the galleries of Vincent Valdez’s Just a Dream… exhibition.

Runs monthly on Saturdays starting Oct 25, 2025 – Feb 21, 2026, including Nov 22, Dec 20, and Jan 17.

In his practice, Vincent Valdez blends large, representational paintings — the scale of which recalls Western traditions of history painting as well as mural painting and cinema — with contemporary subject matter. He focuses on subjects that explore his observations and experience of life in the twenty-first century.

Participation is first-come, first-served; 15 drawing pads and pencils are available. Extra drawing pads and graphite pencils are available to purchase through the Research & Development Store. Please note that there are no ink pens allowed in the galleries.
