Join us for a FREE youth art drop-in! Open to youth aged 15-25, materials and snacks are provided during the workshop.
Using speed drawing and theme breakdowns, “Make Ugly Art” helps artists surpass the need for perfection in their work and empowers them to create from the emotional core, detaching from the idea that every piece has to be perfect. Techniques learnt in this workshop will help participants overcome the roadblock of perfectionism in their work while creating authentic pieces to their artistic voice.
Reservations are required for this event and all materials will be provided.
Please register through Eventbrite here.
If you have any questions, please email us! 🙂
