Join us for a FREE half-day collage workshop and discover the fun and creative possibilities of collage. No previous experience is necessary. Whether you’re an artist or simply curious to try something new, everyone is welcome. The workshop will be led by renowned collage artist, Cecil Touchon. We’ll provide all the materials and guide you through the process of creating your own original collage. You’re also welcome to bring papers, photographs, magazines, or other collage materials to use or share if you’d like.

At the end of the workshop, participants are invited to contribute one artwork for the exhibition. It will be installed in the exhibition opening later that day. Each contributed work will become part of the permanent archives of the International Museum of Collage, Assemblage and Construction and be included in future presentations of this ongoing exhibition. Come spend a creative afternoon with us, meet fellow art enthusiasts, and become part of the museum’s growing collection and history. Step Up Gallery is open the same hours as the library.
