Artist-in-Resident Joha Harrison will facilitate an evening of creating community-based art at A Community Collage: An Artist-in-Residence Outreach Event on Monday, Aug. 11 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Mansion Library.
In an open-house style setting, Harrison, a California-based photographer and painter, will help participants create an abstract collage that will be turned into one large piece of art.
In order to create a personal connection, those taking part are encouraged to bring items from home to be used in their collage, such as old paper (letters, sheet music, wrapping paper, etc.), leather, buttons, beads, dried flowers, fabric scraps, or anything that can stick to cardstock with Mod Podge and glue. Participants can also create a second collage to take home if they’d like.
A bar will be available.
$5/person. Register here. Walk-ins will also be taken until capacity is reached. All sales are final.
