June 1 – August 31, 2019
Get creative in a welcoming environment this summer! Del Ray Artisans’ Creative Summer Programs is a series of workshops, talks, classes, and programs exploring the arts. Sign up for the programs that inspire you and make your own “stay-cation” art experience!
Register individually from the nearly 20 classes currently offered—and check back because more will be added throughout the summer. The workshops, taught by local artists, are for all skill levels and art experience. There are workshops for techniques in painting, sculpture, collage, mixed media, jewelry-making, sketching, and more. Learn how to take photos with your SmartPhone, dive deeper into the magic of macro photography, and use art for affirmation, communication, and intention. You can relax, center yourself, and create a beautiful mixed media mandala; or sign your teen up to learn how to create zines!
Del Ray Artisans’ Creative Summer Programs runs from June 1 through August 31, 2019, with morning, afternoon and evening workshops, and expands upon our former 2-week Grown-Ups Art Camp program. Take this opportunity to learn something new and enjoy the experience solo or with friends. Some workshops fill up fast, and registration will end a few days before the workshop, so register now at the gallery or online at DelRayArtisans.org/programs/creative-summer/
Unless otherwise noted, workshops are held at Del Ray Artisans gallery in the Colasanto Center, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia 22301. Regular gallery hours are suspended for the month of July. The gallery is an accessible facility.
