About this Event
Make + Move @ QAC
Album Listening + Artmaking
featuring the music of Durand Bernarr — Denim Paint + Sip
Join us for an afternoon of artmaking, music, and connection inspired by the sounds of Grammy Award–winning artist Durand Bernarr and his new album, arriving this May.
Known for his bold style, expressive presence, and undeniable charisma, Durand sets the tone for a session that’s playful, creative, and full of movement. We’ll be working on denim—painting, layering, and experimenting with texture—while listening to selections from his latest album.
A photo booth will be available so you can capture your creations—we’ll be sharing highlights with Durand.
Expect a space that’s expressive, relaxed, and open.
No experience needed. Come as you are.
