Drop into our Studio to experiment freely and collaborate using different materials, tools, and techniques! We encourage attendees to visit a chosen artwork in the galleries for inspiration, then head to the studio to create. All ages and abilities are welcome (children must be accompanied by an adult).

FEATURED MAKERSPACE

Join us in May for an Exquisite Corpse Drawing Game and practice the art of illustration! Visitors will create unique solo or collaborative character drawings. Get inspired by The New Salon and the Pop Surrealism movement, influenced by Surrealism, underground comics, and illustration. The Exquisite Corpse Game is a classic surrealist technique for developing subconscious imagery.
