In partnership with the Dali Museum's current exhibition Where Ideas Come From: Drawings from The Dalí Museum Collection, join us for the first of five partner programs exploring surrealist themes and Dali's life and work. In this workshop, we will explore an experimental painting technique: decalcomania. Explored by many of the surrealist artists of the early 20th century, decalcomania is a technique that occurs when paint is pressed between two sheets of paper to reveal a unique, abstract image. Participants will learn more about decalcomania and create their own pieces inspired by this surrealist technique.

Tweens! Join us for an Art Switcheroo! Every tween will be given their own canvas to start. You will have five minutes to start creating. After 5 minutes everyone will pass their paintings to the person next to them, and they will work on the new painting for another 5 minutes. We will continue to pass the paintings until everyone has worked on every painting! You will end up leaving with a collaborative art piece that everyone contributed to! This program is for Tweens going into grades 4-7. Registration required.
