Our summer workshop series will spark your creativity as we explore Collage + Mixed Media and Sculptural Assemblage. Join us as we transform upcycled materials including paper, cardboard, product packaging, household items, wire, foil, and fabric into captivating artistic collaged compositions and 3D sculptures.
Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, these workshops will offer a supportive, inspiring environment to develop your skills and express your artistic vision. Each session will offer guided instruction, hands-on practice, and plenty of artistic freedom. Come join us to connect with fellow art enthusiasts, learn new techniques, and create unique, expressive artworks using everyday upcycled materials.
Select one workshop series or register for both. Morning and afternoon sessions will held each week on Tuesday and Thursday.
Throughout our lifetimes, creativity is within us waiting to be awakened and expressed – bringing a new sense of accomplishment and connection with communities. E.A. Michelson Philanthropy supports programs that bring these benefits to people of all ages.
The Vitality Arts Workshops provide individuals aged 55+ a community-based creative outlet. Creative aging programs offer older adults a revitalized experience in learning, nurturing their sense of purpose while enhancing their wellbeing. These programs foster social connections and ignite passions for creating among peers, while facilitating friendships and the building of a supportive art-minded community. Each of the NEU workshops planned through the end of 2024 will be focused on a different art discipline.
Individuals requiring accommodations for equal access to this program are encouraged to contact the NEU Vitality Art project manager, bliss.burrell@purchase.edu,

that a good-faith effort can be made to meet the identified needs.
