LOUD! Art Workshop

🔥 Bold. Expressive. Unapologetic. LOUD!

This is not a quiet painting class… This is where color gets turned all the way up! Our LOUD Painting Workshop is about letting go, getting messy, and creating something that truly speaks for itself.

Led by artist Monica Diaz, you’ll explore bold colors, expressive textures, and eye-catching designs while making a piece that feels powerful, confident, and completely your own. No experience needed—just come ready to create without limits.

Your finished artwork can also be entered into our “LOUD” Exhibit at the Avalon Park Arts & Culture Center, giving your piece the chance to be showcased in our gallery.

Saturday, June 20th | 10 AM
Avalon Park Arts & Culture Center

🎟 $35 per person | All supplies included
