AAS is pleased to offer workshops in beautiful Rockland, Maine at the Lincoln Street Center for the Arts, located a few blocks from the heart of downtown and the harbor. Rockland is recognized for its vibrant, burgeoning arts community that has grown out of the fact that the town is home of the prestigious Farnsworth Art Museum, which has in its vast collection master works by the Wyeths and other internationally known artists. Rockland now has several fine art galleries, including Dowling-Walsh. The town also offers fine restaurants, coffeehouses, bookstores, and great shopping. Add a couple of days to your visit to make short jaunts to other charming port towns such as Camden, Belfast, or Damariscotta. Rockland is not far from Port Clyde where you can take the ferry to Monhegan Island, should you choose to take a day-trip there.
The Lincoln Street Center space shown above will be our classroom, with high ceilings, large windows and beautiful light. Enrollment is limited to 11. Join us in Rockland!

artist-2011 workshop participant Lynda Lyons O'Connor
Join us for this exciting and challenging introduction to the language of non-objective design (abstract composition). Explores what art can say IN ADDITION TO OR APART FROM its traditional purposes of describing external appearances, telling literary narratives, and expressing specific and pre-determined emotions. The premise of the nonobjective language is that such painting is about realities that are interior and transcendent; painting that speaks metaphorically about emotion, the psyche, the spirit. While the majority of hands-on challenges are executed in painting, drawing, and collage, this workshop is neither media not technique specific, and no technical expertise is required. Features regular interactive discussion and critique.
