Van Gogh Find Yourself

Have you always wanted to meet a famous artist?  How did they do it?  Join a journey into the life and art of Vincent van Gogh with New York-born artist Walter DeForest.  This is an immersive interactive few hours with a master.

Walter bears a striking resemblance to Vincent van Gogh, and he'll share stories about the artist's life while encouraging everyone to create their own artwork.  This is storytelling and art-making for everyone.  Don't miss this opportunity to engage with the spirit of Van Gogh and explore your own artistic potential.

Art supplies will be provided.  You can draw along while Vincent draws your portraits revealing the secrets of how he put so much love into his work and the iconic moments that shaped his life.

'The wonderful thing about Van Gogh is that his story gives all struggling artists a great sense of hope.  That all the work and hardship will someday be worthwhile.  #VGFY brings Vincent's story to life before your eyes like no book or documentary can.  Warm, inspiring and very touching.'
