The Painting’s Edge workshop is not for beginners.

Some knowledge of painting history, especially after 1945, and an acquaintance with developments since 1960 will be necessary.

Studio work may also incorporate collage, photographic processes, drawing, three-dimensional objects and other materials. Participants should bring stretched or unstretched canvas or other surfaces appropriate for their work. Large surfaces are encouraged. Please bring paint, brushes, tools, and a set of slides of previous work in a carousel. Applicants should be aware that there will be room to work, but space is limited. It is preferred that participants use mineral spirits rather than turpentine in the studio.

Class will culminate in an exhibition of participant work, on July 4.

Specifications for electronic images: send images as pdf files, files must be no larger than 600 kb. Applications will be accepted until April 8 for review by the committee.
