FOR OUR VIRTUAL UNGUIDED ART EXPLORATION:

Before the event, please take a look at the special reference site we create (coming soon) and check out our Pinterest collection, https://www.pinterest.com/artfulexplorers/_saved/ for inspiration and more information, and feel free to use google for some inspiration or look to your own photos or postcards to inspire you. Many explorers like to select a subject (or two!) before joining the event.

We will show a short video at the beginning of the event, before breaking out into smaller groups for independent creating and artful exploring in the media of your choice!
