Sedona Arts Center — Sign up for an Art Workshop Today!

Join award-winning artist Joe A. Oakes for a fun, info-packed, painting experience. Learn to take an ordinary image and transform it into an extraordinary, finished, VIBRANT painting. Valuable art principles and important acrylic painting techniques will be discussed while we work through and complete a finished piece. All painting styles and skill levels are welcome. Also open to oil and pastel painters.

Learn to make beautiful one-of-a-kind collage papers using acrylic paints and gel plates.  Mimi will walk the class through a very fun and easy process of gel painting and printing. Mimi is also teaching Making Marks and Creating Collage Papers the following weekend.  You can “bundle” these workshops for one price!

Learn how to create breathtaking artwork by using time-saving colored penciltechniques.  Barbara will take you through classical and contemporary approaches in drawing during this two day workshop. Artists of all levels will advance their skills as they draw along with Barbara. Students will create three small projects that focus on value, form, color and blending. Colored pencil will become your favorite medium because it is clean, non-toxic, versatile, and fun!

The Artist’s Professional Toolkit:
A Writing Class for Your Portfolio

What’s the difference between an artist statement and artist bio? How do you write a compelling proposal? Learn how to exquisitely craft and then repurpose all three of these artist tools when applying for exhibitions, workshops, residencies, funding, and more. 

We know how difficult it is to face the blank page and write about yourself in a way that perfectly reflects you and your artistic practice. Through a step-by-step process and many examples for inspiration, your bio, statement, and proposal will come into focus and be ready to plug into any opportunity that comes along.
