About This Program
Our May Family First, led by artist Shane Manier, is a fun creative workshop for all ages, where art, creativity and style meet. "The Drip" is all about how art can represent your unique style. What's your style say about you? What does it say about where you're from, where you're going? What colors and patterns represent you best? In this fun and expressive art workshop, participants will create a collage with fabric, patterned paper, magazine and paint markers to represent your unique style. Let's see your creativity, style and personality shown through artwork. This workshop is open to all ages, feel free to bring your entire family!
Come celebrate your unique sense of self, let's see your "drip!"
