Arts on the Hill Workshop: Visual Art
Join us for an instructor led visual arts workshop that is designed to spark creativity and enhance artistic skills.
Event Details
Dix Park and the Raleigh Film and Arts Festival are excited to offer a new take on Arts on the Hill with creative workshops! For more than 10 years, the Raleigh Film and Art Festival has prided itself on developing avenues to aid artists in the freedom of expression - crossing paths with a cornucopia of talented individuals in the Triangle and across North Carolina. This partnership with Dix Park will give local, regional, and up-and-coming artists a platform to develop their talents and showcase their work.
Instructor:
Combine various materials like paint, collage, and drawing to create unique and expressive pieces. Explore different textures and techniques while learning basic visual art principles. You'll leave with a completed mixed media artwork to showcase your newfound skills.
