Event Information
Description
Come join our workshops and learn how to screen print!
We invite you to experience the inherently therapeutic nature of screen printing in an empowering, supportive and fun environment. These workshops are open to partners, family members, and close friends of sexual assault survivors, as well as survivors themselves. After a short introduction, we will guide you through making your own design and turning it into a flag. Snacks will be provided!
The workshops are limited to 6 participants. No previous art experience is necessary. Participants must be 18 years or older and must pre-register to attend. Your registration will be confirmed by one of the artists prior to each workshop. PLEASE NOTE: Your personal information is confidential and will not be shared. We will not ask you to share your personal story.
Artwork created in the workshops will be displayed anonymously in a group exhibition at The Community Arts Workshop, April 27 - 29, 2018. Participants may take their flags home at the end of the exhibition or donate them to the organizers.

Print Power is a collective of four artists with teaching experience who empower people of all ages through printmaking. Together, we can use the power of print to change the culture. While we work closely with the SBRCC and other community groups, we are not art therapists or counselors.
Print Power is a project of the Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative Arts Residency Program at the Community Arts Workshop. Funding for the program was provided by the Santa Barbara Foundation. More information about the residency program can be found at sbcaw.org/residency.
