Mural Painting Project

Have you ever wanted to learn how to paint a mural? Join Jon Conner (aka Lank) to work on 2 large canvas panels that will become murals for the arts center! Each afternoon the week of August 7 - 11 you will work with Jon to finalize the design and learn how to enlarge it, make stencils, and use safe acrylic paints and spraypaints to create the final product. For ages 5 - 14.

Jonathan Conner (Lank) is an artist, designer and educator from Hamilton, New Jersey. A graduate of the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon, Jon has designed artwork and signage for Whole Foods Market and created educational content for Utrecht Art Supplies.
