Learn how to make your own fluid acrylics masterpiece with a local artist!
To allow for instructor demonstrations, this activity is offered once every 40 minutes for groups of no more than 30 people.
About the Artist:
Self-taught fluid acrylics artist and instructor Rahim Gray was born and raised in Dorchester. He says “I like that I must relinquish control when making a piece because of the power of gravity and the formlessness of liquid. Fluid art challenges me – it has no fixed shape, and when sheer force is applied, it cannot resist.” His art is influenced by music and current events. Look for his upcoming pour art classes and pop-ups around the Greater Boston area.
