What happens when you stop trying to make something “perfect” and just start experimenting? ✨

In *Collage: A Laboratory for Visual Experimentation,* students will explore layering, placement, texture, repetition, and visual storytelling using collected papers and found materials.

This workshop is less about rules and more about discovery — cutting things apart, moving elements around, and seeing unexpected connections emerge.

Bring papers, prints, unfinished artwork, maps, tissue paper, or anything with interesting color and pattern.

🗓 Saturday, June 20
⏰ 9 AM–Noon
🎟 $65

Gallery closed on Saturday, May 23.

Jen Polillo Studios' dreamlike landscapes are now on view in the 'Perspectives' art exhibit at Jester Artspace. ✨

Featured here is “Wake Up”, an acrylic painting. Soft layers of color and atmosphere create an emotional, almost meditative space that feels both intimate and expansive.

Through abstracted landscapes and memory-inspired imagery, Jen’s work explores emotion, reflection, and the quiet weight we carry through life.

🖼 Perspectives featuring Jen Polillo + Matthew Raghunauth
🕛 On view Saturdays through June 20 | Noon–2 PM
🎟 Free and open to the public
