Fire-Walking with Art: Putting You as Subject

Adult (Ages 16+) | This program has been canceled

While keeping a visual and written journal, you’ll explore the personal as subject matter by experimenting with art and other materials that help reveal subject matter (places, people, work) and the odd and fragmented (moments, habits, objects). Experiments with abstraction and expressive realism may include self as found objects, a set of postcards, items pinned to the fridge. Useful for seeing the self in transit through the pandemic. A willingness (expertise not necessary) to try materials in new ways is an asset. ( watercolor, acrylics, collage, drawing, gluing, etc.).

While masks continue to be optional at ACA, they are strongly recommended, and we encourage everyone to review current masking recommendations from the CDC to inform their personal choices.


    ACA is aware that public health guidance re: COVID-19 continues to change and evolve – all current policies are subject to change, in order to best align with current guidance and to preserve the safety of all of our constituents. Please be on the lookout for updated policies and protocols moving forward.
