Imagining Growth: A Rochambeau Community Art Project

Join Community Collaborative artist Cathren Housley at Rochambeau, where your own creativity can take root and grow. Our large scale collage of color and organic form will emerge from the collective vision of every participant. People of all ages and abilities are welcome, so bring the whole family! The completed work will climb the staircase wall from the Library’s main floor, as far as our imagination can reach.
Some of the painting techniques Cathren will teach are, creating gradient, spatter painting,  string painting, drip and tilt, creating textures and patterns, table cloth mono prints, and creating a vortex swirl.
The project will be ongoing from March 7 through May 9 on Friday afternoons, 3:30- 5 pm. Come to one or two sessions or come to all!
