Next Level Workshop | Discovering the Unexpected

Join exhibiting artist Carol Mickett, featured in Avant Garde: Remarkable Women in the Permanent Collection, and fellow collected artist and collaborator Robert Stackhouse.
Move beyond your preconceptions into a state of authentic discovery with collaborative masters Carol Mickett and Robert Stackhouse. Through a deliberately limited palette of materials, you will engage in creating 48 quick artworks. This is not about perfection it’s about letting go of control to uncover surprising moments of interest and meaning. Guided critiques throughout will help you recognize patterns, break habits, and reframe your relationship to your own work. You will select one or two of your 48 pieces to develop further. Leave with new work and a renewed confidence in where the unexpected can lead!
