The Artist’s Table - Helen Frankenthal
A Monthly Art Appreciation + Painting Experience
Gather around The Artist’s Table for an evening that blends art history, conversation, and hands-on creation. Each session begins with a 20-30-minute guided discussion and study of a featured artist, exploring their life, techniques, and cultural impact.
From there, we’ll move into a 90-minute studio session where you’ll recreate one of their iconic works or a piece inspired by their style.
This immersive class invites you to slow down, paint with intention, and connect to the masters who shaped the art world. Whether you’re a lifelong learner or simply curious about the creative process, The Artist’s Table offers a welcoming space to appreciate, learn, and paint together.

Gather around the table for an evening of art appreciation and hands-on creation inspired by the work of Wassily Kandinsky, one of the pioneers of abstract art.
This class begins with a guided discussion exploring Kandinsky’s belief that color, line, and shape could communicate emotion in the same way music does. We’ll look at how he moved away from painting the visible world and instead focused on inner experience, rhythm, and spiritual expression through abstraction.
After the lecture and conversation, we’ll transition into a guided painting session where participants will create their own Kandinsky-inspired work. You’ll experiment with expressive color choices, dynamic compositions, and intuitive mark-making, focusing on feeling, movement, and personal response rather than realism.
This class is less about copying a single image and more about understanding Kandinsky’s way of thinking, then translating that approach into your own visual language. All experience levels are welcome, and no prior abstract painting experience is required.
