Grace Studio: Making Art from Memories

Local artist Julie Simer leads a creative workshop focused on turning personal memories into mixed media art, drawing inspiration from the upcoming exhibition Memory Painters: The Art of Memories. Please bring a single 8x10 print of a photo you want to work with, whether it captures a person, a place, or a meaningful occasion. No prior art experience is required, and it works well whether you come on your own or with friends. Participants may bring their own beverages and snacks to enjoy during the session. The price is $30, with a $5 discount for museum members.
