Interview a Painting – Workshop
September 20th, 12:00 – 3:00pm
Please Pre-register – Free
Interview a painting? Yes, you can create lovely, descriptive passages by asking a painting to ‘speak’ to you! Never written poetry or prose before? …no problem! Let the painting create the words for you. The show of works by 8 Interlake artists will be the inspiration for Interview a Painting. These Waters will inspire you to continue using visual art to write flowing, melodic poetry and prose. Guided by show artists Rosemary Miguez and Gayle Halliwell, the 90-minute workshop will give you the tools and techniques to continue on a path that leads to deeper understanding yet provides fun and entertainment along the way.
