Open Art Room

Open Art Room is a series of drop-in workshops that I am leading at this fall ( and beyond?)
at the West Philly radical community room, the A-Space.

So far, attendance tends to include young parents and their young children, and adults of all ages from the neighborhood. It's been about five to seven people at each gathering.

My ideas for this project are very well summed up in this press clipping:

Open Art Room is a series of open art workshops, for people of all ages
led by West Philly artist and art educator Zoë Cohen.

All are welcome!
encouragement and guidance for those who feel new to art,
support and constructive feedback for those who usually make art on their own.
The first half hour of each session will be a class format in which Zoë will present a skill or lead a group art game.
The rest of the session will be open art time- you can continue trying out new skills, get instruction and feedback on art that you make, play around with group art games, and connect with other people about art and creativity.
