Discover In-Person Group Workshops

“It doesn’t matter how the paint is put on, as long as something is said.”

Jackson Pollack

Consists of 4-one hour classes, occuring on the same day/time over the course of four consecutive weeks
The cost is $220 per student, which includes all art supplies
There are 5-10 students in each workshop
Students do not need to have any kind of art background (See "Our Creative Process")
Students work in professional grade ACRYLIC paint and on stretched canvas
Students will need to purchase paint, canvas, and other supplies needed to complete the workshop. We will provide a detailed list and as much additional support as needed
The creative goal of each workshop is to complete at least one painting that will be displayed and discussed in an In-Person art critique

Location

Conducted by a professional art teacher on the historic Roycroft campus in East Aurora, NY, in either one of two art spaces:

The Castiglia Art Center (Primary Location)
Second floor of the Print Shop
21 South Grove St, East Aurora, NY, 14052
(Note: use back entrance if the elevator is needed
Roycroft Powerhouse (Secondary Location)
39 South Grove St, East Aurora, NY, 14052

The Art Critique

We are fostering a supportive community of artists who create significant and relevant work. This is best displayed in our art critiques. Once you see a critique, you won’t be able to unfeel it!

In-Person critiques are held @ The Castiglia Art Center (Second floor of the Print Shop) on the Roycroft Campus located at 21 South Grove St, East Aurora, NY, 14052
Students have the opportunity to discuss their work verbally on their own or by having someone else read a prepared statement. This is their platform. It is an open forum. We do not censure thoughts and ideas
For each critique, we create a different panel of professionals from the visual art community who share their thoughts on each painting. In the past, we have had many different artists serve on the panel from all over the country, including artists who are internationally recognized and have paintings in the permanent collection of art museums, like the Smithsonian, the National Gallery of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
After both the student and individuals on the panel speak about each piece, we open up the conversation to everyone else in attendance
While many of our students choose to keep their paintings, they are given the opportunity to put their paintings up for sale during the critique
