Art Presence Art Education
If you love learning about and creating art, you've come to the right place. At Art Presence, we offer a number of opportunities to learn and create:
Messy Hands
Every second Saturday we offer a fun, low-key art activity for the whole community. Join us from 1:30-3:00 and enjoy a creative experience facilitated by one of our own artist members. This is a free event.
After School Art Club
For our younger creatives in 1st-5th grade, we host a weekly Art Club. Each Thursday from 3:00-4:00 we host 15 students for an afternoon of art fun. We offer four units per year; Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Classes fill up fast, so get registered today.
Jacksonville Elementary Outreach
It's an honor to teach an elective art class at Jacksonville Elementary each semester.
Classroom
Our upstairs classroom is available for local artists to rent for hosting their own art classes. Community members and businesses may also rent the classroom for small meetings and classes.
March: Collage
March 8th from 1:30-3:00 PM in our upstairs classroom. Call the gallery to register: 541-414-3234
Join artist member, Dana Bilello Barrow for an afternoon of collage making. Using various torn and cut pieces of paper and a whole lotta glue, you'll bring to life both realistic and abstract creations. If you've never collaged before, fear not- you'll get started with a few warm up projects before diving into your masterpiece. Bring your favorite photos, images, magazine pages, or any other inspirational reference image with you as inspiration. Although paper is the primary collage medium, you're invited to bring small items with you, such as buttons, trinkets, stamps, or anything else you want to incorporate into your collage.
