YOU CAN SEE OUT BUT THEY CANNOT SEE IN!!! Privacy, air flow, and private art on public display. We will learn about the history of the painted screen as a unique folk art in Baltimore City. We will paint a screen(s). Participants are encouraged to bring a screen from their home (door or window). If you don’t have a screen, we will provide screens for you to paint. If you bring a screen, make sure you mark top, bottom, left right, right and inside outside on the screen. Bring ideas for what you would like to paint on the screen. The majority of the painted screen artists were (are) self-taught, so all skill levels are invited. Go home with a painted screen to adorn your home.
