We are helping to spread the word of the upcoming free classes at The Norwalk Art Space!

There are a few spots still available for 13 to 18-year-olds (details below). Young artists can go here for more information and register.

They are also having an art competition for the same age group with prizes and opportunities to showcase their work around Norwalk.

How do you make works of art that express YOU and inspire change? Join Resident Artist and Museum Educator Lorena Sferlazza for this interactive, two-part workshop series to ignite your creativity, learn from artists, and grow in the community. You will explore works of art on view in the Norwalk Art Space’s opening exhibition through close-looking, sketching, and mindfulness activities. Then, you’ll move to the studio space to create paintings, drawings, collages, and more that reflect who we are and the community we’d like to build. Registration required for up to 10 available spots; materials provided onsite.

Meaningful Still-life

Fridays | July 9 - August 6, 2021 | 11:00 - 1:00pm | 5 weeks with Resident Artist Emily Teall

Free and open to high school age students (13 - 18); up to 10 spots; registration required

Students will create a still life from symbolic, narrative, nostalgic, or otherwise significant objects. Students are welcome to bring objects from home or to use those that will be provided. We will begin with realism but students will be encouraged to emphasize concepts and meaning through color, detail, and strategic placements. Students will experiment with a broad range of drawing materials and techniques.
