Every year the Josephy Center celebrates Wallowa County’s natural beauty through a Wild Landscape Exhibit - this year we want to celebrate the beauty and the diverse landscape of Imnaha.
Join us for a two-day abstract painting workshop with Cheryl North Coughlan. Students will get 2 30x 30 canvases to cover with paint. No experience necessary.
What is a wild landscape? One thing that makes Eastern Oregon so special is untouched and undeveloped landscapes. The Wild Landscape exhibit will celebrate Imnaha's diverse and wild lands.
Well, after two years of isolation and unprecedented challenges, we are looking ahead with anticipation and excitement - as this is certainly a time to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Wallowa Valley Festival of Arts! We are looking forward to seeing YOU, our ever-growing family of artists, and enjoy your company in beautiful Joseph, Oregon, next September 10-18, 2022.
Now accepting submissions through CaFE - join our festival in September for our 40th anniversary this year!
In this workshop you will play with cold wax. This painting medium is very forgiving and allows for all sorts of mark making and collage using all sorts of materials. It can be mixed with acrylics, oils, and powered pigments. You can apply it to boards, canvas, or paper.
