Adult Art Workshops
Adult Art Workshops are designed for beginners, but all levels are welcome! Artist instructors offer a variety of workshops throughout the year exploring different media and techniques. Typically, one daytime and two evening sessions are offered for each workshop. Currently each workshop is limited to 10 participants.

For most workshops, all supplies necessary to complete the project are included with the workshop fee. Any additional supplies required of participants will be noted in the workshop description.

Certain workshops may have a higher fee depending on the length of the workshop, instructor fees, and supply costs, but typical workshop fees range from $45-60. All workshops provide Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credit for educators.

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
Creative Contemporary Landscapes
​with Acrylics
February and March 2021

​Instructor: 
Holly Hunter Berry

Join us for a hands-on art workshop with Holly Hunter Berry, the currently featured artist in our Hillery Community Gallery exhibition, The Illuminated Path. In this 3-hour workshop participants will learn about the artist’s process and how they can apply it to their own work. Take a few hours to relax and create your own vibrant landscape painting!
Starting with a well-composed reference photo (provided by the artist), participants will learn about underpainting, layering and texture, and working with transparent and opaque paints. While the subject is a landscape, these techniques can be used to paint other subjects as well. 
This workshop is open to all experience levels. All art supplies will be provided. Each workshop is limited to 10 participants, so reserve your seat early!  

Workshop Fees: 
Teachers* and Museum Members: $50
Non-museum Members: $55

​*Educators receive 3 hours of CPE credit for this workshop.
