      Art Gallery Artist Workshop

      Feb 19, 2025, 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

      Seattle, 1915 1st Ave S, Seattle, WA 98134, USA

      Unlock your creativity and quiet your inner critic in this fun and welcoming intuitive painting/drawing workshop. Through 5–6 guided prompts to paintings, you’ll explore vibrant colors and expressive techniques using chalk pastels. The goal of the session is to allow each participant to express and process emotions in a non-verbal way while letting go of overthinking and embracing creative flow. It is a freeing and surprising journey that doesn’t require any prior painting skills. Suitable for all skill levels—no experience necessary, just bring an open mind and a willingness to explore!

      All materials provided including wet wipes for students who are sensitive to the messiness.

      All experience levels welcome!
