Virtual Workshop

At this virtual Zoom workshop, artist Ivan Calderon will lead a discussion about the history of retablo paintings, followed by an art-making session. Participants will create a painting that tells an important life story, using similar materials as the works of art on view in the exhibition, Miracles on the Border: Retablos of Mexican Migrants to the United States. Ivan Calderon is a teaching artist at the El Paso Museum of Art, where he is able to connect works on view with art history, theory, and technique for visitors of all ages. The free workshop is open to ages 13+. All materials will be provided, either through the mail or dropped off at homes. To ensure timely delivery of the materials, pre-registration is required by Monday, April 12. 

This workshop registration is limited to 25 participants. Once we reach capacity, you will be placed on a waiting list and we will contact you if we have cancellations.
