About this Event

516 ARTS is pleased to host a 3 hour workshop with exhibiting artist Alejandro Macías, whose multidisciplinary practice moves across painting, drawing, and video to examine questions of identity, migration, and belonging. Don't miss your opportunity to creatively engage with the process behind his work on view in The Armor We Wear. Seats are limited!

Students in this workshop will explore mixed-media painting and drawing techniques through the format of portraiture. Working with acrylic and graphite on paper, they will develop their traditional drawing and observational skills while simultaneously exploring abstraction. The result will be a series of “split portraits” presenting a range of materials and artistic executions. All levels.
