The Old Forge Library will offer a Pollock-Krasner House Creative Women Zoom Series on Tuesdays in March from 12 to 1 pm.
The art lectures and classes will be held online via Zoom, and a link to join will be provided prior to each session.

- On March 3, the focus will be on Frida Kahlo in “Viva La Vida! (Live Life!),” exploring her surrealist, deeply personal portraits.
- March 10 will feature Alma Thomas and her vibrant “Mosaics of Color,” highlighting her expressive abstract style.
- On March 17, participants will learn about Georgia O’Keeffe in “Art Blossoms,” celebrating her large-scale, stylized depictions of flowers and natural forms.
- The series concludes on March 24 with Yayoi Kusama and “Infinite Creativity,” examining her immersive, dotted installations and visionary contemporary work.
The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center, located in East Hampton on Long Island, was the home of Jackson Pollock and his wife Lee Krasner, both renowned artists known for their contributions to the Abstract Expressionist movement. After Pollock’s death in 1956 and Krasner’s death in 1984, the property was given to the Stony Brook Foundation and is administered by Stony Brook University.
This engaging lunchtime series offers a wonderful opportunity to learn more about these influential women artists from the comfort of home.
