About this Event
Learn to wire the back of a canvas or framed picture, according to professional gallery standards. The gallery will provide the materials and tools. Ages 12+. Attendees under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Your volunteer instructor, Melissa Milton (MelissaMiltonArt.com) is a professional artist local to Northwest Arkansas. She will demonstrate how to wire the back of a canvas, taking questions as she goes, and will hand out written instructions for the attendees to keep. Each participant will practice wiring their canvas or frame in turn under the instructor's supervision while the remainder of the class observes. By the end of class, everyone will have gained hands on experience wiring the art they brought.
Attendees Must Bring: A medium-sized canvas or framed picture that needs wiring across the back. The canvas or frame can be blank or empty, or may be a finalized peice of art. Please note: "medium-sized" means the longest side is 20 inches or shorter.
This free class is offered as part of our Non Profit Organization's Arts related Community outreach. Art supplies will be provided by the Gallery. Your art teacher is an artist volunteering their time.
Free Parking. See map below for where our Gallery is located inside of Fayetteville's NWA Mall.
Our Free Tickets are limited to two tickets per person placing the order. This is so one person won't buy most of the tickets and then no show, when there was a wait list of others wishing to take the class. If you wish to invite friends, please have them sign up for their tickets if you already have your two tickets.
If you cannot attend please cancel in advance so that someone on the Wait List may have your spot.
It's Gallery Policy that if someone no shows without canceling, they are not eligible for future free art classes. You may cancel by hitting the cancel button on your original ticket confirmation email. Or by emailing the gallery to let us know.
