Identity, Power, and Art: July 11th: Emotions Are Your Palette

Join artist SPEAKS, RiNo Art District, and RedLine Contemporary Art Center for a program series centered on exploring identity and creating art. This workshop series runs all of 2024 and ends in a group show celebrating the artwork participants create. In this series we aim to deepen and explore our personal connections to our artistic and creative expressions. We also ask questions about how we view and understand ourselves in relation to art. What does it mean to truly“identify” with someone's artwork? What does it mean to see ourselves in our art?

This workshop series builds. Join us for each workshop to get deeper into your exploration of self and creative practice. The workshop series culminates with a group art show. Drop ins and one-off attendees are very welcome!

Participants will be provided with art making materials. Light food and drink will be provided.

July 11th: Emotions Are Your Palette

We will explore the process of translating emotions into a color palette. Sometimes it is hard to paint realism or a portrait in order to signify a specific emotion, but everything we create can represent emotion. How do we identify with color? How can we use color as a tool for emotional and social expression?
