Max Ginsburg – An oil painting workshop & exhibition

This is a rare opportunity to study with a contemporary master realist. Max Ginsburg has a long legacy of teaching and a body of work that is highly sought after. The fact that he is a local Montclairian, and that he was my teacher in art school ages ago just makes it so extra special!

The workshop is June 2 – 6, and the exhibition of his work will be from May 16 – June 15.
