Free for anyone 55 and better!
Registration Required

Unleash your creativity in this hands-on workshop where we explore the art of collage as a painting medium. In this 3-hour session, participants will learn how to use paper cutouts— layering colors, textures, and shapes—to create expressive and vibrant works of art. All materials provided and all skill levels are welcome! No prior experience is necessary, just a willingness to play, explore, and have fun with materials. Whether you're new to art or a lifelong maker, this class offers a joyful and engaging way to experiment with visual storytelling through paper.

This workshop is free for anyone 55+. Registration is required. Please plan carefully so we can keep this programming free! Please do not reserve a ticket if you cannot attend.

For more information or questions please contact Laura Sharp Wilson, manager of studio programs, at laura.wilson@umfa.utah.edu | 801.585.6176.
