Buy Museum Admission Free with Museum admission Join celebrated New Yorker cartoonist, illustrator, and author Liana Finck for a fun, hands-on artmaking workshop. Finck will discuss her drawing style, her favorite topics, and her latest books: How to Baby: A No-Advice Guide to Motherhood and Mixed Feelings, a picture book for kids. Following her introduction, Finck will guide everyone through a series of exercises meant to generate ideas, spark jokes, and inspire cartoons in the single-panel format. Don’t worry if you can’t draw—absolutely no prior experience is needed, and all ages are welcome. This Rockwell Center event is made possible through the generosity of Jordan & Deanna Berman.
