Make It Make Sense: Dream Sip ‘n Paint with Artist David Ignacio
In this workshop, participants will have the chance to draw/paint their dreams or process the feelings they have through abstract painting! Like true sip-n-paint fashion, this will be an evening of relaxed and casual painting as we share random dreams (sharing not required). Participants will sip and paint with minimal instructions. These automatic paintings are based on the captions (dream excerpts) but could also be quotations or short lines. All materials provided and free to attend!
This event is hosted by MoCA Arlington Innovation Studio + Store at 525 14th Street South, Arlington, VA 22202. Street parking is available for a fee, and garage parking is free for up to three hours after 4:00pm. We recommend entering the garage from 13th Street South!
