techniques.</h6>
<hr>
<h3>About the Class</h3>
<p>In
 this workshop, French-American collage artist Catherine Cruz will teach
 you how to create a dynamic series of abstract collages using elements 
such as color, line and shape. You will work on four small wood panels 
to compose a cohesive series. Working on several panels at once offers 
several advantages, including greater creative momentum, the ability to 
build a strong thematic connection between pieces, and a way to maintain
 creative flow. This technique allows for a deeper exploration of an 
idea or theme than is possible with a single piece.<br><br>We will start
 with short composition exercises to discuss design principles and 
abstraction. Then Catherine will demonstrate her method for mounting 
papers on the panels. You will have ample time to select papers and 
create your designs.<br><br>We will take a short break for lunch between 12:30 and 1:00 pm so please bring your lunch and a beverage.<br><br>What you’ll learn from this workshop:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reliable method for layering collage papers</li>



<li>Creative ways to explore abstraction</li>



<li>Techniques for creating a cohesive series</li>



<li>Strategies for refining your composition</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong>
 Each participant must purchase and bring four 6”x6” cradled wood panels
 to the workshop. Instructions for where to purchase your panels and how
 to prepare them will be provided upon registration.</p>
<p>Instructor will provide: a wide assortment of painted and printed collage papers, brushes, acrylic medium, scissors, rulers.</p>

<h3>About the Class</h3>
<p>Roll up your sleeves and join us for a special evening of “Trashion” Print Lab!<br><br>Our
 mission is to explore a creative arts technique socially with our 
community. Print Lab is not a traditional class, but an affordable 
art-making experience. We welcome you to print, play and experiment with
 an activity to create something unique in our printmaking studio!&nbsp;<br><br><strong>In honor of “Trashion Fashion” we are focusing on creative reuse, and sustainable printmaking!&nbsp;</strong><br><br>Tetra
 Pak printmaking is an eco-friendly and accessible art technique that 
repurposes used food and beverage cartons – like those for milk, juice, 
or broth, as printing plates. It is a form of intaglio printmaking 
(similar to drypoint etching), where you scratch or “incise” a design 
into the carton’s inner foil or plastic lining to create a printable 
surface. Carton printing is widely considered a highly sustainable 
alternative to traditional etching because it prioritizes creative reuse
 and non-toxic processes.<br><br>Recycle, repurpose and recreate! Learn 
how to turn garbage into beautiful prints! We will demonstrate how to 
draw, scratch, cut, ink and print carton surfaces on our presses with 
water-soluble etching inks. Guests will leave with their own prints they
 create! <strong><em>We have plenty of cartons to share, but we 
encourage guests to bring their own cleaned Tetra Pak’s and milk cartons
 to use or donate to the printmaking studio.</em></strong><br><br>No printmaking experience is necessary. Light refreshments will be provided.&nbsp;</p>

T Barny Gallery & Sculpture Gardens

<p>From ancient monuments carved in stone to bold contemporary abstraction, sculpture has always been a defiant presence in the world. It occupies space and refuses to be ignored. This year’s International Sculpture Days event embraces the belief that sculpture can inspire, provoke, and challenge the world around us. Each artist will present their work , and visitors can engage in acts of “defiant dissidence,” exploring how art can serve as both personal reflection and public voice.</p>
<p>The event draws on a long tradition of artists and citizens using visual language to express dissent, question norms, and imagine new possibilities. At its core, <i>We The Sculptors</i> affirms the enduring role of artists to challenge, to question, and to stand visibly in the public square.</p><p>Contact manager @tbarny.com for more details</p>

Sebastiani Theater

<h4>Blending classical ballet with folklórico traditions, Por la Luz de la Luna celebrates the beauty and richness of Mexican heritage while honoring the experiences of Mexican Americans. This is a story of identity, courage, and family, shining a light on the enduring power of traditions passed from one generation to the next.</h4>
<p>This original ballet libretto was inspired by award-winning author and arts activist Aida Salazar’s story of her great-aunt, Jovita Valdovinos, who fought for religious freedom in Mexico’s Cristero War in the 1930s. Por la Luz de la Luna brings a fictional account of Jovita’s story to life, weaving history, mythology, and family legacy into a powerful theatrical experience while celebrating her heroism. As one of the few Mexican-themed ballets in history, it creates a space for dancers of all backgrounds to portray Latina/o characters, highlighting unique stories and honoring Mexican and Mexican-American heritage on stage. Set to 20th-century Mexican classical music by composers such as Carlos Chávez and José Pablo Moncayo, the ballet is brought to life through striking sets and Aztec-inspired costumes designed by visual artist PEMEX. It premiered on April 9, 2016, at the Sebastiani Theatre and continues to be a highlight of the company’s repertory.</p>

Along the way, we’ve learned what truly lasts, what causes problems, and what homeowners need to feel confident in their homes.<br /><br />We built GoFlow on a simple belief: people deserve clarity, honesty, and real protection.
