Come take a break with writer, photographer, painter, and filmmaker Dallas Mcghee-Henry to learn the art of pour painting, where participants will paint their feelings and leave stress at the door. During the workshop, participants will be exposed to the world of acrylic pour paintings, an abstract art form with an unexpected outcome. During this workshop participants will enter the abstract world of creation, allowing them to be present within the moment. At the end of the workshop, the paintings will be left to dry at the Duderstadt Gallery before participants can pick up their own creation.
Limited to: 15 participants

Dallas McGhee-Henry is a writer, photographer, painter, and filmmaker interested in the intersection between art and social change. Currently doing art as passion work, Dallas practices art as a mode of release while also being thrilled with always giving himself challenges. Always excited to improve himself and his art form, Dallas takes in his plethora of inspiration and doesn’t limit himself all in the pursuit for fun and change. He believes that art can be a part of everyone’s life, and everyone can be an artist. Being an advocate of art liberation, Dallas works to one day be a part of something bigger than himself, an art movement allowing artists to collaborate and successfully create work to uplift voices and create more opportunities for the artist community at large!
