DAC Nights: Popped Art

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 
7-9pm

RSVP on Eventbrite

Come to DAC Nights Popped Art and be inspired by a screening of the documentary Brillo Box (3₵ Off) about the journey of an Andy Warhol piece of pop art, then make your own artwork.  DAC Nights will screen the film twice: with a short runtime of 44 minutes, there’s plenty of time to watch and make art! Use Warhol as inspiration or create your own visually vibrant pop art with plenty of supplies and templates to guide your creation.  

This event is free! Registration is required, as space for the screening is limited. The film will screen at 7:10pm & 8:10pm.
