Workshop with Julie Geller: Drawing From the Deepest Well: Allowing the Divine to Enter Your Work
Mizel Museum, 400 S. Kearney Street, Denver
6:45 pm - 8:45 pm
Fee: $2.00/members :: $5/non-members
“When we leave our small selves-our egos-behind, we free ourselves up to contribute something beautiful to the world. We can perform G-d’s work through our hands, voices, and bodies. Although we create art from our personal experiences, the moment we think of our art as a vehicle to glorify ourselves, our work diminishes in power”. All materials will be provided. Please feel free to invite family members or friends to attend. Everyone can benefit from taking time to experience something spiritual. We will be excited to hear how this influences your art.

You don’t need to own one to come to the meeting-come and see what it can inspire you to do with it! Maybe you can borrow someone else’s someday!
