Abstract Collage: A Community Collage Workshop

The Lebanese-American poet, essayist, and visual artist Etel Adnan said, "Abstract art was the equivalent of poetic expression; I didn’t need to use words, but colors and lines. I didn’t need to belong to a language-oriented culture but to an open form of expression." The freedom of abstract or non-representational art makes it an ideal way to engage with the medium of collage. In this workshop, participants will explore color, texture, and composition as they assemble an 8"x10" abstract collage on paper they can take home. The workshop is led by Ric Kasini Kadour, artist, writer, and Director of Kolaj Institute.

Kolaj Institute's Community Workshops are opportunities for members of the Greater New Orleans community to experience collage making and explore new ideas. Most of our workshops are 2 hours long and take place in the evenings or weekends. Workshops are open to anyone (18 years and up), regardless of skill level or experience. Unless otherwise specified, all materials are provided. Space is limited and we suggest signing up early.

Price is $25 per participant.
