Acrylic Pour Workshop at Manley Art Center on June 24

WANTA HAVE SOME FUN????

ACRYLIC POUR WORKSHOP
PRESENTED BY DE’DE’ NICOLLS
SUNDAY, JUNE 24, 2018
10:00 – 2:00 (bring a snack or lunch)
PLACE: Manley Art Center, 433 Oak Street, Brookings, OR
COST: $20

Pouring, puddling, dripping

The defining characteristic of this acrylic painting technique is that you don't apply the paint with a brush or palette knife, but rather use gravity to move the paint across a canvas. The results are unlike anything you can get with a brush: fluid flows of paint without any brush marks or texture. With manipulation these beautiful and colorful cells are created. It’s kind of a messy process, but so much fun!

SUPPLY LIST: (paints are available at Wright’s Framing)
Paints Recommended
1-ounce fluid acrylic colors (5 colors of your choice) plus 1 black
8-ounce fluid acrylic (white)

Coos Art Museum is a Blue Star Museum - Admission is free to the nation's active duty military personnel and their families

Coos Art Museum is one of more than 2,000 museums across America to offer free admission to military personnel and their families this summer in collaboration with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, and the Department of Defense.

Coos Art Museum has announced the launch of Blue Star Museums, a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense, and more than 2,000 museums across America to offer free admission to the nation’s active duty military personnel and their families. The program runs from Memorial Day weekend, May 26, 2018, through Labor Day, September 3, 2018. It provides families an opportunity to enjoy the nation's cultural heritage and learn more about their community, especially after a military move. A list of participating museums is available at arts.gov/bluestarmuseums.

 

“Visiting a museum is a great way to get to know a community—whether it’s in your hometown or a stop on a road trip,” said NEA Chairman Jane Chu. “We appreciate the enthusiasm of museums all across the country who open their doors for military and their families to spend time together and have new arts experiences.”

 

Coos Art Museum has been a cultural focal point of Oregon’s scenic Southern Coast since 1966. It occupies an historic 1936 Art Deco US Federal Building in downtown Coos Bay. The Museum offers a wide range of arts activities including exhibitions, art classes and lectures. Hours are 10:00am to 4:00pm, Tuesday through Friday and 1:00 to 4:00 pm on Saturday.
