PROGRAM 1
For Ages 13 – 18:
Teen Art Workshop: Oil Painting 1
Saturday, October 17
10:30am–1:30 pm
Building on the success of last year’s popular oil painting workshop, this program introduces participants to the history and continuing relevance of oil painting as both an art form and a profession. Participants will explore how oil painting evolved from a skilled trade learned through apprenticeship into a diverse modern industry, from fine art to commercial works created for homes, hotels, and businesses. The program also highlights contemporary opportunities for artists, including innovative collaborations like the fully oil-painted film Loving Vincent, demonstrating how traditional artistic techniques continue to find new applications today.
Suggested donation is $20, but all teens are welcome regardless of ability to pay. TAW is open to all skill levels.
PROGRAM 2
For Ages 10-13:
Tween Art Workshop: Portrait Collage
Saturday, October 17
2–5pm
Let your tween’s creativity take center stage. In this hands-on workshop, young artists will create a unique mixed-media portrait collage using photos, colorful papers, patterns, textures, and creative embellishments. We’ll explore portrait-making in a fun way while encouraging each artist to experiment, express their personality, and make the project truly their own. No prior art experience is needed — just bring your imagination!
Suggested donation is $20, but all tweens are welcome regardless of ability to pay.
