SUMMARY:Masterclass: Drawing Comes to Life
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Power Boothe\nSaturday\, November 15\, 2025\n10:00 AM – 3:00 PM\nMembers: $99 / Non-Members: $110\n  \nParticipants do not need special skills to take this drawing workshop. Every exercise will be inherently accessible\, rooted in our daily experience (what comes naturally) and the focus will be on getting back to basics. Every drawing will ultimately rely on the experiences of each unique individual who is the expert of who they already are. Whatever skills one has acquired before the workshop is where each individual will begin – to enact that mysterious event – that thing that happens when a “drawing comes to life”. \nNote: As part of this masterclass\, a public lecture entitled “Everything Trembles: Art and Complexity” by Power Boothe will be held at FPAC on November 15\, 2025. Find more details here. \nMORE INFO & REGISTER
