Each 90-minute workshop highlights a particular aspect of the art world, offering fresh inspiration for your own creative work. You’ll begin building your story in the format and medium that fits you—through writing, sketching, or experimenting with art materials.

Beginners and seasoned artists are welcome. Come every month, or come when you can—each workshop stands on its own.

COMING THIS FALL!

Each 90-minute workshop takes shape around a central theme that we explore together through discussion and examples from literature or visual art.

At the heart of the workshop experience is “studio time”—dedicated time for each artist to engage the day’s theme and create their own personal artistic response in the format and medium of their choice.

The workshop closes with an informal gathering to share our newly created works and the stories they tell.

Contact us about 12 Tales ART TO GO.

Find out how a 12 Tales ART TO GO booth can enliven your next event. ART TO GO supplies the inspiration and materials for a 5-minute, hands-on creative experience. Each visitor to the booth creates their own art piece and, if they choose, displays their work in our ad-hoc gallery.

Like our 12 Tales workshop, the ART TO GO booth sparks creativity by presenting attendees with a fun and engaging prompt. By providing a common theme for all, the experience blends individual creativity with communal engagement.

The ART TO GO set-up can accommodate all ages and abilities.
