Collage Together Livestream on World Collage Day!

Join with artists worldwide to celebrate our love of collage-making in a FREE virtual studio session streaming live on YouTube. All are welcome regardless of experience! Whether you make collage art with scissors and glue or through an online collage app, whether abstract art or representational images are your thing, we all share the love of creating something new by recombining pieces in a totally unique way. The virtual camaraderie of others can help motivate us especially if we are used to working alone. Bring your own materials and ideas and come set up ready to work from the privacy of your own space. Optional collage prompts will be offered. If you’re feeling social, you can interact with others via the chat. Artist and educator Michele Théberge will offer a short introduction and centering exercise followed by two 30-minute work sessions. There will be a fun giveaway during the break! Afterwards, you’ll have a chance to share your work and make new collage online friends through the hashtag #collagetogether2024 and #worldcollageday.
