Teacher Workshop with artist Jill Foley
Wednesday, August 11, 2010
Details coming soon at www.DallasMuseumofArt.org/teachers
Join DMA staff and visiting artist, Jill Foley, for an interactive workshop filled with imagination and creativity. Foley, a Dallas-based artist, describes her work as her consciousness turned tangible. She creates large scale imaginary-type spaces to host her puppet-like figural sculptures and her paintings and drawings.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Until next time….
