Adults and teens can enjoy 2 casual evenings of collage and connection featuring materials and inspiration from these featured illustrators. Each of these artists use bold colors, cut paper and layers of texture in different ways to tell stories. Come browse their work, learn their histories and try your hand at telling a story of your own through collage. Feel free to bring old photographs, magazines, etc. of your own that might help tell your story. There will be plenty of materials available as well.
This program is supported in part by a grant from the Becket Cultural Council, which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
