Artist’s Hand Workshop

Online with Steve Rose: April 7–28, 2021

The Inside Out 

Please join us for a unique experience of personal reflection, perspective, and perhaps even catharsis via creativity. Due to what you, as an individual, and indeed what the world has been through during the past year, this four-week course offers time and space to process your experience of isolation artistically. All of us have spent considerable time looking from inside our homes to the world outside, observing changing seasons, natures’ tenacity, and our own fluctuating levels of anxiety. This workshop provides an opportunity to develop an artistic response to our experience

Each session will begin with a brief presentation on artists who have utilized this concept: think of Matisse and his wonderful views from hotel rooms toward the Mediterranean in the south of France, or Richard Diebenkorn with his paintings from inside his studio to the views of suburban California.

Art has always been a record keeper and this workshop will be a perfect way to process the current challenging circumstances. Mentoring and ongoing critiques will be continuous throughout each class.

Medium and supports will be up to the individual artist.

Four sessions on Wednesday afternoons, 2–4 p.m.

Cost: $100 for members, $120 for non-members
