Program

Create Community: Imagined Worlds in the art of William Blake and Hew Locke

Preregistration required
Free admission

Join YCBA educator James Vanderberg for this three-part series to explore how artistic processes can be an avenue for looking closely and inspiring your own artwork. 

About this program

Both Blake and Locke use collage, text, printing, and color to imagine new worlds of possibility and challenge the status quo. The workshops explore William Blake: Burning Bright and Hew Locke: Passages through a close investigation of material and process to see how the artists create innovative ways of shifting perspectives and opening the imagination. Ultimately we create our own imagined worlds through printmaking, collage, and word play.

Adults of all artistic abilities are welcome to join. All materials are supplied.  

Registration is required; program limited to twelve people. This program meets on Thursdays, October 2, 16, and 23, 5:30–6:45 pm.
