I would like to invite you to a FREE workshop I will be teaching on
Saturday, April 9th Saturday April 23rd From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bronx Music Heritage Center Laboratory 1303 Louis Nine Boulevard, Bronx, NY, 10459 During this two-day workshop we will learn about Abstract Art and composition. After the theory, we will decorate some big trash cans with what we have learned. The final product will be used during the different street fairs and festivals WHEDco organizes. This workshop is free, open to community members 18 years old or older! REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED- SPACES ARE LIMITED! I have been busy lately doing what I like to do. During the winter it is easier to stay inside, and I really like introducing adults into the awesome world of creating art.
Partnering with Wonderfully Made, an organization that empowers families to raise socially and emotionally healthy children to foster positive and meaningful relationships at home and in a school setting; we created a free workshop for parents to spend the night on their own. Sometimes taking the time for yourself is not easy with children around. We shared a magical night creating Ink-Blots and sharing stories. We started a series Bringing Art Into My Life will continue with similar events soon. I also lead the Paint the Night Away event with BxArts Factory, where a group of adults replicated a painting I designed specially for that night. I really enjoyed teaching them about color mixing and empowering their creativity to take over their fears of "Am I doing it wrong?" I will be teaching more of those events soon. Subscribe to my newsletter so I can keep you posted!! Celebrate the Bronx's 100th anniversary with three pedestrian Sundays on the Grand Concourse between 165th and 167th Streets. The center lanes will be closed to cars and open to a world of fun, with free music, activities and programs hosted by art/cultural, civic, health organizations and artists. I will have a table with new stuff inside The Bronx Museum this next Sunday, August 3rd, and I will also be volunteering teaching an art workshop outside... so COME AND ENJOY!!!
