Monongalia Arts Center: A Creative Journey Through West Virginia
September 7 - 11,  10 am - 4 pm
Working from Morgantown as our creative base, we’ll paint on location and in the studio, drawing inspiration from the university city and the wider landscapes, architecture, and culture of West Virginia. Using sketchbooks, watercolor, acrylic, mixed media, color, and texture, participants will develop a personal response to place while exploring contemporary painting techniques.
Three days on location
● Morgantown – people, architecture and university life
● Coopers Rock State Forest – landscape and atmosphere
● Cheat Lake or Mason-Dixon Historical Park – water, light and natural forms
Two days at MonArts
● Expressive drawing and painting from live performance - e.g group of musicians or dance/performers one before and one after lunch.  
● Developing sketches into finished paintings
The workshop will conclude with a Saturday exhibition and reception showcasing participants’ work, alongside a small exhibition of Anna Martin’s paintings, creating a celebration of creativity and an opportunity to raise funds for Mon Arts Center.
