Artist's Way Workshop - Art Show Opening Reception
Dec

Artist's Way Workshop - Art Show Opening Reception

Join the participants from the Artist’s Way Program as they celebrate the opening of their art show.

Facilitator Lauren Aldred and the program participants have been meeting weekly since September. As a “creative cluster”, they have supported one another as they have worked through the chapters of author Julia Cameron’s book, “The Artist’s Way”. The program includes weekly art projects - many led by the participants themselves - as well as a final artistic project. These art projects will be on display through the month of December.

Participants will be in attendance at the opening night to speak about their journey through this program, and the art they created. We hope to see you there.

Paint Night with Sydney

Paint Night with Sydney

Local artist, Sydney Chauvin, will lead you through the steps to recreate this beautiful painting. Through Sydney’s guidance and encouragement, every participant will leave the session with a finished painting and (hopefully) feeling empowered to create more art! These paint nights are full of fun and laughter - a great way to spend a fall evening. We hope you can join us.

Fees for the class are $50 per person, and include all supplies.

Please complete the form below to register for the class. Spaces are limited so we recommend you sign up early to avoid disappointment.
