Programs: Adults

Kick off your weekend with a bite-sized happy hour version of our renowned Studio Arts workshops.

Expressive Floral Paintings

Plant, play, and paint flowers, succulents, leaves, gardens, ponds and forests. Actual plant life may be incorporated into the paint. Create your own colorful tactile landscape.

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!

In this virtual workshop series, artists are invited to turn their journal into a studio companion and idea incubator. Through interactive Zoom sessions we'll explore simple, repeatable practices artists can use to generate content, clarify ideas, and deepen connection to their work.

DECEMBER'S TOPIC: YOUR ”WHY” STATEMENT

Your “Why” Statement is the heartbeat of your artistic practice. A strong Why Statement helps artists clarify their purpose, communicate their vision to collectors, galleries, and institutions, and stay motivated through creative challenges. In this interactive journaling workshop, you’ll:

- Explore your core values and creative motivations

-Use guided journaling prompts to uncover your personal “Why”

-Shape words that inspire your art, fuel your career, and connect you with audiences
