SAAC to host Corks and Canvas with Pam Vernon
The South Arkansas Arts Center invites artists and novices to uncork their creativity at the February Corks & Canvas art class led by local artist Pam Vernon on Feb. 20.
The class will take place from 6-9 p.m. at SAAC, 110 E. Fifth St., and will offer students the opportunity to create a stylized painting of a church using texture, vivid colors and bold brush strokes.
The design, created by Vernon, will be painted on an 11x14 canvas using acrylic paints.
“My love for art began at an early age and continues to this day,” Vernon said. “I like the idea of taking something traditional in architecture and painting it in a way that is unexpected.”
Corks and Canvas painting classes are designed for everyone from the newbie to the seasoned painter. Paint, canvas and brushes are provided, and an experienced, award-winning local artist leads the class step-by-step through the process of completing a work of art in three hours.
“Because it is really geared toward artists of all skill levels — even those who have never held a paintbrush before — Corks and Canvas truly is an accessible way to have some fun and learn a new skill at the same time,” SAAC executive director Laura Allen said. “Making art together is a great icebreaker for friends new and old.”
The $40 fee covers all supplies and snacks. Those taking the class are invited to bring their favorite libation.
