Art Class: Unlocking Abstraction

Tuesdays, December 2, 9, and 16 | 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Explore hands-on techniques for approaching abstraction with artist Victoria Rickards in this three-session workshop. With inspiration from featured exhibition Keith Haring: Radiant Vision, participants learn how to move beyond realism and tap into their own abstract side through guided exercises, experimentation, and studio practice. This class is designed to provide practical tools, fresh inspiration, and confidence in developing a personal, expressive style. All levels of experience are welcome. 

Ages 15 and up. $275 / $220 for members. Priority registration for members only through Wednesday, October 8. Join today!

This class has been canceled.
