Allerton and the Monticello Area Arts Council are partnering to offer 3rd through 8th
graders a Youth Art Studio on Saturday, April 18 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
in the Greenhouse Auditorium. Parents and guardians are invited to an
art exhibit and reception in The Studio at the conclusion of the course (4 p.m.).
Inspired by the unique beauty of Allerton, this workshop — led by artist and educator
Belinda Beccue — is an immersive experience that allows artists to communicate
through multiple fine arts mediums with an emphasis on the natural world.
Projects will include canvas painting, sculpture, nature journaling, watercolor,
photography and more. Students will learn about a variety of materials and
techniques, expand skill sets and develop mastery and expressive style.
$85/person* (3rd-8th grade). Register here.
Registration will close April 4 or when capacity is reached.
Students should bring a non-perishable sack lunch, refillable water bottle,
and wear clothes appropriate for a hike and messy art creation.
