Event Details
Microworlding facilitates the building of a microscopic world using fragments of earth, and organic and inorganic materials from the environment around the region. Engaging with a different dimension that generates a sensorial experience, the attendants will make decisions, imagine possibilities, touch nature, see with another lens (4x - 10x larger) develop images with a microscope, and use their fingers (or tweezers if needed) to create their own sample tube. With this hands-on workshop, people will perform “studies” of a superorganism (which is planet earth) to make collages mixing the chosen samples and paint landscapes of a microworld.
RSVP Here.

What is Studio Arts? Join us for Studio Arts, where OMA transforms into an artist’s studio offering skill-building workshops led by distinguished professor and arts educator Robin Douglas. Inspired by world-renowned artists and practicing artists with exhibitions at OMA, you will explore different media, techniques, and subjects found in an artist’s studio. This full-day workshop held from 10:00am-3:00pm is meant to get you in the art-making groove and develop new approaches to seeing and creating artwork. Whether you have a lifetime practice or are new to expressing yourself, we exchange ideas and techniques in a supportive and challenging environment. Students of all levels are welcome to stretch their creative muscles and build community with us. All supplies and light refreshments for each workshop are included in the cost. A break for lunch and a relaxed discussion will occur at midday. Please bring your own bagged lunch or feel free to visit one of the restaurants close by on our provided list.

What is Taste of Art? Kick off your weekend with a bite-sized happy hour version of our renowned Studio Arts workshops. Gather with friends in an artistic space designed to amplify your creative side. Join arts educator Robin Douglas, as we dip our toes into the work of celebrated artists over drinks and nibbles, followed by a rapid demonstration of their styles. You’ll then be guided to interpret these artists and create your own singular, spectacular work of art. We’ll help you express your unique style and ensure you have a blast doing it. All levels of experience are encouraged to participate. OMA provides food, drinks, and supplies; all you have to do is get yourself out of work, grab your friends, and have fun!
