Riverside Art: Connecting With the James
Adult Multi-Week | Available
In this class, artists of all levels can explore the natural world through creative expression, finding inspiration and solace in the rhythms and beauty of the river. Through a series of guided exercises, meditative practices, and artistic techniques, students will learn how to capture the essence of the river in their artwork, allowing them to connect with nature on a deeper, more spiritual level.
- This is an outside class taught at the James River. Participants need transportation to the river and proper outside attire for the weather. Rain or shine, we will work under umbrellas unless torrential downpour.
Accessibility notes: Many artmaking processes require the ability to sit or stand for extended periods of time, fine motor skills/finger dexterity, repetitive motions, vision, and some amount of physical strength. VisArts values making classes accessible to everyone, and is always happy to work with students to make accommodations when possible. Please reach out to info@visarts.org with specific questions related to accessibility or accommodations.
Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.

I am a trans non-binary muralist and arts educator. I love working with community to make big art together, and especially with queer youth. The art I make in my practice is playful and mystical, and largely inspired by my upbringing in the gulf south, but is now shifting with my trans identity. I work mostly in acrylic paints, and recently collage and gouache, and am looking forward to exploring more mediums.
