CREATIVE COLLAGE:
A COMMUNITY ART EXPERIENCEJan 16, 2025, 5-7pm
Join us for a glass of wine and an evening of collaborative artmaking as we launch a two-month collage project inspired by Aldwyth, the renowned Hilton Head artist, whose work is featured in the exhibit, This is Not: Aldwyth in Retrospect, in our Main Gallery.
Participants will have the chance to engage with the artist’s process by placing the first elements on a 20-foot-long piece of Okawara paper, the same Japanese paper Aldwyth used for her large-scale collages.
In addition, inspired by her iconic work, Cigar Box Encyclopaedia, attendees will create their own collaged cigar box to take home.
