Artwork that Inspires Others - Workshop with Artist in Residence, WWAC

Saturday February 21, 2026
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

This workshop invites participants to discover the powerful connection between words, music, and visual art. Each participant is encouraged to bring in a favorite poem or song—something meaningful and personally inspiring. Through guided discussion and creative exploration, participants will learn how to find visual imagery within the music or poem and translate that to an original piece of artwork. The emphasis will be on spontaneity, mark-making, and finding personal voice through materials.
