Presented by the @Kenosha Murals Project and lead by seasoned mural artists from Yonder.
Join us for an engaging and immersive mural workshop where you will learn the art of creating large-scale murals in a dynamic and supportive environment.
Whether you are an experienced artist or a newcomer to mural painting, this workshop will provide you with the tools, techniques, and knowledge needed to bring your creative vision to life. Together, we will transform a concept into a community relevant mural that reflects our collective energy, creativity and fits into the urban landscape of Kenosha.
This hands-on class will explore the entire mural-making process, from conceptualization to the final strokes of paint. You'll walk away with practical skills, increased confidence, and a deeper understanding of mural techniques and project management.
