Art Projects
At Artventure sessions each participant works on their own individual project or on their own contribution to a more coordinated, collaborative project. If you visit us, you might find that, while somebody is drawing or painting, another will be working on a papier-mâché figure, while others are busy creating a photo-collage or a design for a print. At the same time, we try to inspire our participants by offering them project ideas to become involved in. Here are a few examples of ongoing and past projects.
