Announcing our upcoming MARK MAKING WITH MUSIC WORKSHOP led by visual artist Jeff Feeny! Come join us at DC Gallery & Studio for a unique experience of combining music & visual art! In our Mark Making with Music Workshop, we will explore the connection between sound & visual expression through various mark-making techniques. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just looking to try something new, this event is perfect for anyone interested in the creative process. All ages and experience levels are welcome. The Mark Making with Music Workshop will be led by South Jersey mixed media artist Jeff Feeny. Let the music inspire your artwork and unleash your creativity in a fun and interactive setting. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind event! Advance registration required. During the workshop, each participant will be working on 18 X 24 inch heavy, mixed media paper. We will divide our paper into 4 separate sections (6 X 9”) and precoat with matte medium so when tape is removed the edges will be clean. Participants will create a mixed media artwork while listening to different musical genres for 30 minutes each. URL: https://www.dcgallerystudio.com/artworkshops
