Artist extraordinaire Orlando Almanza will be joining us to teach still-life drawing to our community members! No experience is necessary and all skill levels are welcome! Art supplies and a light lunch will be provided.

In 2022, Almanza presented a solo exhibition titled “Born by the River” at Soapbox Arts Gallery in Burlington, Vermont as well as a solo exhibition titled “Un Laberinto en el Estómago de un Cocodrilo” (A labyrinth in the stomach of a crocodile) at ONA Galeria in Havana, Cuba. These exhibitions focused on the myths from the artist’s childhood, growing up in the Cuban countryside. Recent honors include an Artist Residency at The Newport Art Museum and at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology and the addition of one of Almanza’s works to The Hood Museum at Dartmouth College collection. He currently works and resides in Portland, OR and Havana, Cuba. Orlando was also recently featured on Oregon Art Beat. To learn more about Orlando: https://www.orlandoalmanza.com/#/
