Art Studi-O Dreams, Visions and Bricolage

About this event

Inspired by The Dream is the Truth, an exhibition highlighting artists such as Clementine Hunter, Sister Gertrude Morgan and more, participants will explore themes of dreams, memory, spirituality and personal vision and transform everyday materials into expressive works guided by intuition, memory and imagination through the techniques of painting and assemblage. Supplies provided, but personal materials and meaningful found objects are encouraged. Questions? Email education@ogdenmuseum.org. $200 members / $250 not-yet-members Register Not a museum member?
