Program Design 101 Workshop

About this event

Have an idea for a great community program? Don’t know how to translate your idea into an actual program structure? Want to learn what goes into developing a program that will really serve the community?

Ring in the holiday season with a family-friendly fun, creative and interactive art session at the gallery! Come and decorate clay ornaments using paint, printmaking and collage. Each person will receive two clay ornaments to decorate and will have time to play and explore different techniques to create their own one-of-a-kind piece of art.

This little adventure is perfect for all ages, and participants under 12 years must be accompanied by an adult participant.

$25

Join printmaker Francesca Reside as we explore the creative potential of printing with a gelli plate and acrylic paint. This will be combined with other art materials and techniques including drawing, mixed media, collage, stencil design, books and zines. Each participant will produce stylish prints which can be made into cards, collages or embedded into other art projects. Participants can create an accordion book with designs as the main class project.

Finding fresh ways to promote your artwork can seem daunting, but there is light at the end of the tunnel!  This workshop with artist Julia Lucich will identify hurdles to building a strong customer base and will uncover ways to surmount those hurdles.  Julia will distinguish between occasionally selling one's work and establishing a sustainable art-business model. Come away from this workshop with a clear understanding of the steps, challenges, and solutions involved in developing a thriving art business.

Join award-winning photographer, painter, and teacher Cim MacDonald for a helpful and hands-on workshop to get you feeling comfortable and confident about photographing your artwork. Learn about basic principles, common challenges, and best practices for shooting 2-D and 3-D pieces.

Bring your own camera or device—a digital SLR, a "point and shoot", or a smartphone will do the trick—and you'll have the opportunity to practice taking photos and receive constructive feedback from Cim.

Level up your lettering! 

Make beautiful letters from the comfort of home over Zoom, and enhance any project you are working on. To make our work distinctive and appealing, we will use a fine liner while learning a number of monoline alphabets, and we will use a broad-edged pen as we explore a new, playful alphabet.  Enjoy contemporary lettering online in a relaxed and friendly setting.

As part of BC Culture Days 2021, this workshop will introduce participants to creating a pouch made of leather or fabric with basic beadwork. The focus will be building practical skills of beading and sewing. Supplies will be available but feel free to bring your own to add your own sense of flair to your project.

While participants are encouraged to create a leather pouch for themself or a loved one, the group will be engaging in storytelling as a means to reflect on the meaning of medicine pouches and what are things they would like to carry with them in their day-to-day lives.
