Meet Jerome LaMaar
Featured Artist - The Cloud
Creating fashion since the age of 15, Jerome LaMaar is a prolific artist and designer with a passion for the Bronx. He has produced a web series for Uniqlo, dressed Beyonce, Rihanna, Missy, and partnered with brands like Puma, Nike, and Lyft. He's been featured in the New York Times and even opened a store in the South Bronx that sparked a whole new conversation about culture.
As part of the Museum's Art Builds Community initiative, Jerome is collaborating with the Museum and Potion Design to create an interactive play-scape for our suspended multi-media mezzanine called the "Cloud".
Jerome is picture here with his three-year-old niece, Journey, who can't wait to come to the Museum. You can read more about Jerome in this recent article in Women's Wear Daily (WWD), which mentions his latest project with the Museum. Read the full article here.

Taking inspiration from Wave Hill's gardens, we will make botanical drawings and enhance them with gold leaf and gilding. Transform your drawings into an homage to the coming Spring equinox through adding sculptural details and placing your work in the home of an upcycled glass jar.
