"Reflections" is an art-making workshop series designed to serve adults 55 and older.
In this new workshop series, participants will explore materiality, push boundaries, and break out of the canvas. Through material exploration, we will investigate consumerism, everyday objects, and ephemerality in contemporary art.
Participants will consider and learn the following:
• The significance of everyday materials
• The legacy of varied artmaking techniques
• The importance of art movements that break down gender stereotypes
Each workshop will include an investigation of contemporary art-making techniques and materials. No prior art experience is required. Transportation will be provided, if required. Participants may join one session (two days) or the full series (four sessions; eight days).
Session dates in this series are:
Session 1: Friday, January 19 and Friday, January 26
Session 2: Friday, February 2 and Friday, February 9
Session 3: Friday, February 16 and Friday, February 23
Session 4: Friday, March 1 and Friday, March 8
