Memory Magic: Collage WorkshopSaturday 8/22/2026
2:00PM - 4:00PM Gallery open 11:00AM - 5:00PM Free to attend | No registration required Delve into the creative use of everyday objects, photographs, and multiple materials that, when put together, “assemble” an artwork. Focusing on using items that hold personal significance, the workshop will offer new ways to share your story and reimagine the memories captured in mementos from your past. Inspired by contemporary artists from the Mott-Warsh Collection who have championed the medium of collage and assemblage, like Betye Saar, Howardena Pindell, Mel Edwards, Radcliffe Bailey, Nick Cave, Whitfield Lovell, Sam Middleton, and Deborah Grant. This program is presented in conjunction with the exhibit “Voice and Visibility: 25 Years of the Mott-Warsh Collection” at MW Gallery, which features artworks by some of those artists on view. The workshop is being held on the last day of the exhibit, August 22, 2026. |

Participants are invited to bring physical or digital photos and other memorabilia from their lives to use in crafting embellished collages. The ability to print-out digital photos and to make copies of physical items will be available on-site, to keep your originals untouched if desired. This program is free and open to adults and children ages 12+ (children ages 5-11 welcome only with supervision). All art supplies will be provided, along with some generic items and photographs to use if you don’t want to bring your own. Participants can bring in their own art supplies if they’d like, but no liquid materials or glitter please. So, grab your photo albums, scraps, souvenirs and let’s get assembling!
