Take our INTRODUCTION TO MONOTYPE WORKSHOP on Sunday, June 14, 3 - 6 PM.

Some of the best art happens when you let go of the plan. In this hands-on workshop, you'll be introduced to monotype printmaking — an expressive, accessible technique that trades rigid rules for creative freedom. At its core, monotype is imperfect and unpredictable, encouraging exploration over perfection. Designed for beginners and experienced artists alike, you'll learn the core fundamentals of the process: applying ink to a plate, building texture, and transferring your design to paper in a single, unrepeatable pull. Using stencils and found textures, you'll create multi-layered, multicolor prints that are entirely your own. Come ready to experiment and embrace the unexpected.

OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS
smallWORKS: Deadline to apply, Tues., June 30

smallWORKS, 'Looking Out From Within,' returns to the galleries at Garrison Art Center this fall, inviting artists to consider artwork as a passageway — a frame through which we glimpse something beyond. Presented alongside INSCAPE / OUTSCAPE in the Balter Gallery, a curated exhibition drawn from The William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation, this year's smallWORKS takes inspiration from that show's meditation on how environments shape our ways of seeing and being in the world.
