Sierra Nevada College continues its tradition of offering summer art workshops for the 24th year. Wow!
Workshops run through August 1.
Workshops in ceramics, glass, sculpture, digital art, painting/drawing, photography, printmaking, and jewelry will be given by nationally known artists through August 1.
On Tuesday nights each week during the workshops, the college will host its “Meet the Artist” lecture, which will be followed by an informal reception in the Tahoe Gallery (located in the Prim Library, 3rd floor, on the SNC campus). Both are free and open to the public. The Gallery will also be displaying all of the summer artists’ work.
