Zentangle® is an easy to learn, relaxing and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. It increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction, and instills a sense of personal well-being. Instruction will develop the ability to use the Zentangle® method in your daily life, as a meditative art form, a jump start to your creativity, an enhancement to your journal, incorporate patterns into your other projects, or simply just for fun! There are NO MISTAKES in Zentangle!!!

 

Drawing with Mikey Brand. Two approaches are being offered:

1. Life Drawing Studio Session

Every other Tuesday starting Jan 14. 6:00-8:00pm, $25 per night. Adults 18+

Keep your drawing skills sharp with a two-hour life drawing session featuring a professional nude model in a relaxed, supportive, group setting. A variety of shorter duration poses will get you warmed up in the first hour with quick, fluid sketches to capture the essence of the pose. Longer duration poses in the second half will provide increased time for a more detailed study of the form allowing you to practice your rendering skills.

*Notes: Features nudity and so is only open to 18+ (or 16+ with parental permission). The studio session is for artists of all levels and led by a facilitator but is self-directed and does not feature instruction.

Register here or just drop in and pay cash!

​2. Intro to Drawing – Every other Tuesday (alternating with the life drawing class) starting Jan 21, 6:00pm.  $25 per night.

The Poetry Project is a collaborative venture which endeavours to connect burgeoning poets from Berlin and Gananoque. In Gananoque, it consists of 8–10 newcomers, who meet each Thursday for 2-4 months at GAN (Gananoque Arts Network). “The idea is to mentor recently arrived immigrants and refugees with being able to put their experiences into poetry” says project director Dennis O’Connor. The goal of the project is to complete a book that tells immigrant stories to help build acceptance for those who left home to come here. Click here for more information on TPP.​
