Teen Workshop: Painting in Motion
Drip, blend, smear, and splatter! The Artpace creative laboratory is open as our Teen Workshop: Painting in Motion puts your imaginative talent into action. We’ll be taking a close look at International Artist-in-Residence Jacco Olivier’s newest work, Cycle, then you will have the opportunity to make your own stop-animation film inspired by the exhibition. Artist Johnny Villarreal will help you transform your experimental paintings into moving works of art.
Artpace Teen Workshops are designed for students age 14-18. Space is limited for this exciting event, so contact us at education@artpace.org or 210.212.4900 to register. There is a $10 registration fee.
Artpace Art Elements Teen Workshops are made possible by the Kronkosky Charitable Foundation.

The Idea Fund Workshop
The Idea Fund grants $4,000 awards to 10 artist-centered projects that exemplify unconventional, interventionist, conceptual, entrepreneurial, participatory, or guerilla artistic practices.
Applications will be accepted from Texas-based artists, artist collectives, and/or curators who create and showcase new work involving the public via process, production, or presentation. Proposals are evaluated on artistic strength; overall vision; capacity to realize the proposed project; accessibility to the public; and demonstration of community support and commitment to serving a local constituency. The Round 5 deadline is October 19, 2012.
The information session at Artpace is free and open to the public. You can also visit www.theideafund.org for more details.
