Join Maryhill Museum of Art and artist Molly Johnson for an online guided experience to create a submission for the Exquisitely Connected Project. Molly will help take you through the steps of creating a visual response to your current feelings, your hopes for the future, or creating a metaphor for today’s world experience. All you need are a few basic art supplies and your creativity! This workshop is free, but donations are welcome and will be used to support the project. Class takes place via Zoom; registration is required.

The Exquisitely Connected project was designed and directed by teaching artist Molly Gaston Johnson, New Jersey, in partnership with Maryhill Museum of Art, Goldendale, Washington and Monmouth Arts, Red Bank, NJ. Last summer, Molly was in residence in the Columbia River Gorge, participating in The Exquisite Gorge Project; we thank her for her passion for communities!
