Weekend Studio: Beyond Still Life
March 16, 2025, 3:00 PM-5:00 PM

Transform everyday objects into evocative works of art that challenge the limits of traditional still life. Inspired by Martha Alf’s paintings of ordinary items, participants will use a variety of drawing materials to create experimental compositions that elevate the mundane into the realm of the iconic.
Tickets are $10 or free for residents of Costa Mesa. Advance registration is required, and space is limited. Overflow seating may be available with modified materials. Registrants that arrive more than 15 minutes past the start time cannot be guaranteed entry.
Weekend Studio workshops invite artists of all experience levels to engage with current exhibitions through creative, hands-on activities. Workshops involve materials that are suitable for ages 6 and up only, and all families must sit together for the duration of the program.
This workshop is made possible by the City of Costa Mesa.
