Greetings!
If you are a performance artists, we are looking for you! Our upcoming event on Wednesday, May 18th will showcase talented performers from across the University of Oregon campus. See below for more information about our call for performance art!
Below is the spring schedule for the JSMAC Sketchbook Collective. Prompts will be posted to the blog and Facebook page every Wednesday. Meetups are every other Sunday. Bring your own supplies and sketchbook (if you have one), otherwise we have sketchbooks available. These meetups are drop-in, no skill necessary and all are welcome! They are mostly self-led, as each of us works in different ways, but there will be some direction if wanted, and there are always opportunities for feedback. This is a great way to relax and put your creativity to work.
The Open Figure Drawing at MECCA are open, pay-what-you-want figure drawing sessions with a nude model. MECCA hosts these every Thursday but we will go twice as a group.
We’ll be outside mostly, but if it happens to rain we can work inside the JSMA.
