Bring out your inner artist in this adult creative workshop! Inspired by our new exhibition Diego Rivera’s America and led by artist, muralist, and guest instructor Alan Rodriguez with Razo Studios, we’re learning how to transform small sketches into large-scale artworks and murals. Come discover how muralists like Rivera and Rodriguez plan and create their works, how to think about size while sketching and planning a work, create a large-scale work of your own. Along the way, you’ll get step-by-step guidance from an experienced muralist to help your vision come to life.
Beginner-friendly, this program is open to all experience levels and includes all necessary supplies.
Tickets are $55 ($44 for members), reserve your spot online or with Guest Services at (479) 657-2335 today. Registration includes all materials for the workshop.
