Online guided drawing session with Lauren Ari!
With special guest Richmond Art Center’s executive director José Rivera!
On Friday, March 5, 12:30pm, artist Lauren Ari led an online session for drawing and relaxation. And her special guest was Richmond Art Center’s executive director José Rivera!
José started at Richmond Art Center at the end of summer 2020, but the covid pandemic has prevented folks from gathering in-person to meet him. So we hosted this event as a virtual meet and greet.
A small group of students and staff joined Lauren and José in Zoom, while a much larger group participated via a Youtube livestream.
Setting up a Space for Clay at Home
In winter 2021, with many public studios closed due to Covid-19, Richmond Art Center’s Ceramics Manager Marisa Burman created this video on how to set up a friendly space for working with clay at your house.
At Richmond Art Center we’ve been thinking a lot about the upcoming 2020 election; how the lead up to it and aftermath are going to be stressful for so many people. To encourage folk to look after themselves during this time we’ve invited artists to share some simple ideas and reflections on the theme of creativity and self-care.
Please enjoy the Creative Self-Care series. Five videos will be released 1 by 1 as we head towards Election Day; accessible here on our website and social media. Follow us on Instagram: @richmondartcenter, Facebook: @richmondartcenter and YouTube and, if you feel inspired, share your own stories of creative self-care! #creativeselfcare #richmondartcenter
