Art through restriction

Art Through Restriction Instructor: Leslie Donahue Date/Time 3 Tuesdays, July 1, July 8, July 15 from 6:30-8pm Location Kathryn Schultz Gallery, 25 Lowell St. Cambridge MA Admission $90 CAA Members $110 General Admission Choose "select date" to register. Ticket includes all dates: July 1, July 8, July 15 Level All Are you an artist looking to expand your drawing toolkit, a regular from our Tuesday night figure drawing sessions wanting more, or simply seeking creative summer fun? The Cambridge Art Association's new three-part "Experiments in Drawing" series is perfect for you. These innovative workshops begin just as our regular figure drawing sessions end for the season, offering a space to discover unexpected techniques, materials, and perspectives that challenge conventional approaches to drawing. Join us to reimagine the possibilities of drawing through playful exploration, regardless of your experience level. ART THROUGH RESTRICTION Sometimes, when we sit down to be creative, we can feel immobilized by choice. Although it may seem counterintuitive, providing yourself with challenges can actually be an excellent catalyst for invention. Artists must invent ways to operate around obstacles, forcing them to use problem-solving skills and adapt to new situations. Unique processes, use of materials, and color combinations that one may not have considered otherwise emerge through this playful and imaginative approach to art. Materials List red, blue, yellow, black and white acrylic paint (any brand is ok) (look for plain primary colors) A variety of paint brushes Tape (painters tape or masking tape) Pencils Eraser A pad of heavy weight paper (like watercolor paper or paper or similar thickness) or canvas paper (9x12 or larger) Glue Scissors Instructor Leslie Donahue Leslie Donahue (b. 1996) is a graduate of Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Working in a variety of mediums, Donahue explores themes of surrealism in the everyday. With sensibilities rooted in everything from Art Deco to color field painting to American folk art, they have an eclectic point of view which reveals itself in their work. They currently live and work in the greater Boston area as a teacher.

ZINE Library Launch PARTY!

The CAA Zine Library Launch Party Help us build our brand new ZINE library! Tuesday, July 29 from 2-5pm Location Kathryn Schultz Gallery 25 Lowell St, Cambridge MA Admission FREE for everyone Join the Cambridge Art Association for the official launch of The CAA Zine Library! What to bring:<ul><li>Zines to donate to our new collection!</li><li>Extra zines for trading with fellow artists and enthusiasts</li></ul>What we'll provide:<ul><li>Supplies for our "Create-a-Zine" workshop (feel free to bring your own supplies as well)</li><li>Snacks and refreshments (while supplies last)</li></ul>﻿ During the event, you'll have the opportunity to create your own ZINE to either add to our new collection or take home. Our goal is to build a diverse collection of zines for borrowing and trading, while supporting other local ZINE initiatives. This is a free event open to all artists and ZINE lovers 18 and over. Come help us transform our tiny foyer into a vibrant hub for independent publishing and artistic expression! Zine FAQ: The Basics What is a ZINE? A zine (pronounced "zeen") is a self-published, small-circulation publication created by individuals or small groups outside mainstream media, historically giving voice to marginalized communities and political movements. What's the history of zines? Zines emerged as crucial platforms for underrepresented voices, from feminist punk "Riot Grrrl" zines to LGBTQ+ advocacy publications and racial justice work. They've long provided spaces for communities excluded from mainstream publishing and have been vital tools for political dissidents and activists. What topics do zines cover? Zines cover everything from political activism and social justice to personal narratives, art, community resources, music subcultures, and creative writing—all with an emphasis on perspectives often missing from commercial media. How are zines made? Most zines are created using accessible methods like folded and stapled paper, photocopying, cut-and-paste collage techniques, and simple hand-binding with basic materials that anyone can find or afford. How do I start making my own zine? Start by choosing a topic you care about, create content with whatever materials you have, arrange your pages, reproduce your zine through photocopying or printing, then assemble and share it with your community. Why are zines important? Zines provide platforms for voices and ideas that don't have access to mainstream publishing channels, creating accessible spaces for expression without corporate gatekeeping while building community around shared experiences.

MEND/AMEND with Winnie van der Rijn

We are thrilled to have multi-disciplinary artist of opportunity Winnie van der Rijn leading this workshop for us in conjunction with the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gatherfibersymposium.com/">Gather Fiber Symposium</a>&nbsp;this April! Join me for a Quilting Bee style mending event! Quilting Bees have traditionally been used as a place for individuals to come together and affirm their communities. Taking this idea as inspiration we will we come together to collectively mend and amend a large vintage, tattered, stained, rescued American Flag. As we stitch we will take the opportunity to talk about ideas of freedom, as well as our concerns, fears, hopes and dreams for the country. ﻿About the Instructor Winnie van der Rijn is a multi-disciplinary artist of opportunity– collecting materials, experimenting with techniques and pursuing her curiosities. Her art practice includes textiles, sculpture, collage and collaboration (which she considers its own art form). She plays well with others. Winnie actively exhibits her work throughout the United States and internationally. A life long learner, Winnie graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1989 with a BA in Sociology. She has studied printmaking, sculpture, metalsmithing and Marxist theory. In addition, Winnie has explored weaving, machine knitting, bookmaking, altars, exploding picture boxes, automata, shoe making, millinery, sewing, fusing, stamping, metal weaving, resin, riveting, precious metal clay and mixed media. She is wildly curious about how things are made. Her recently completed project 'How to Dismantle the Patriarchy' has shown in various locations including the Textile Arts Center (Brooklyn, NY), Dairy Arts (Boulder, CO), Museum of Sonoma County (Santa Rosa, CA), The New Bauhaus (Iasi Romania), Austin Peay State University (Clarksville, TN) and the self invented Museum of Natural Consequences (New York, NY). A. portion of the project will be on display on the CAA Wall in Kendall Square this Spring. Winnie has completed residencies at the Textile Arts Center in Brooklyn, FabScrap in NYC, Chateau Orquevaux in France and MASSMoCA in Massachusetts. Winnie, a seventh generation Californian, is currently based in Cambridge. She and her husband are redefining what it means to be empty nesters.

Rebecca will provide weaving materials from her collection of scavenged sea trash and will loan each registered artist an individual lap loom for the duration of the workshop.
