Adult EDUCATION

Umpqua Valley Arts is dedicated to the belief that the arts are an indispensable element of a thriving and meaningful community, and that education in the arts should be available to all. Our arts education curriculum is inspired by our energetic community, the geography in which our organization is situated, and the unique history of our region and our institution. When we learn to make art together, we are learning to acknowledge and respect the histories that bind us together, and the changing world that surrounds us. 

PLEIN AIR PAINTING WORKSHOP

With Umpqua Plein Air Juror Anton Pavlenko

October 25th & 26th
10am – 4pm 

Umpqua Plein Air Guest Juror, Anton Pavlenko, returns to UVA to share his knowledge and approach to plein air in this two-day workshop. Students will learn the process of creating a painting on-site in an outdoor setting (or en plein air) and practice techniques for capturing light, depth, and more as their subject changes throughout the day. As they explore the fundamentals of this centuries-old tradition, students will also get to build their observational skills and learn from a master painter. 

This workshop is great for artists with some experience in oils and acrylics, but others are welcome. Open to ages 15+.
