Open Arts is an open mic and open art studio held a few times throughout the year where youth perform and showcase their art.   It is not a talent show so there are no winners or losers.

Collage Workshop Saturday, February 8th
11 a.m. - 1 p.m. - FREE
Artist, Joseph Welch, will lead a collage workshop where you will use paper, mixed media texture, and other collage materials on large paper to create graphic expressions of important issues facing youth today. The project will teach basic design elements and allow you to come into the project at any level of artistic skill while still creating a piece that has a strong Pop style. This project will explore your individual thinking and expression. 
Joseph is an accomplished portrait artist, oil painter and draftsman.  His work can be found in private and public collections, including at University of Missouri, St. Louis.
