Reflections: Changing Landscapes | 55+ Art Workshops

September 4 – October 30

MCASD La Jolla, Prebys Education Center
10AM – 12:30PM
Full Series (8 days): $250 for Members / $300 for General

We're thrilled to offer an 8-week format of Reflections this Fall!

Join us for a series inspired by MCASD's permanent collection and our new exhibition, Visiones Nocturnas: Queer Nightlife in Contemporary Art! In these 8 weeks of artmaking, we will consider identity, community, and changing landscapes over time. 

Using pen and ink, create mixed-media projects that examine the changing landscapes that have shaped our own identities and communities. We will also use tracing, drawing techniques, and other media to create 3-4 compositions.

Reflections is an art-making workshop series designed to serve adults 55 and older. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, these workshops offer a fun and supportive space to explore new creative possibilities! 

Each workshop will include an investigation of contemporary art-making techniques and materials. No prior art experience is required. Registration gives participants access to the full series (eight workshops).
