Date: August 22, 2026
Time: 1-3 pm
Join Rachel Equity for a day of making collages using unconventional materials. Inspired by the meditative quality of Vania Evangelique’s photography, we will construct abstract dreamscapes. Rachel will guide participants through the thought process behind collaging and how to express pensive feelings through materials like printed images, cardboard, glue, and paint. We encourage participants to bring their own materials as well if desired, but all necessary materials are provided.
This is a free event and all ages are welcome to participate. RSVP is required, please click the button below to register. Participants will take home their original artwork inspired by both Evangelique and Wilkinsburg.
