Art After Work is for everyone, including beginners and people who say they “are not artists.” We can all be artists! It is a guided workshop, and instruction will begin at 5 p.m. central.
Art After Work is free to join! To show your support to Intuit, please consider the pay-what-you-can option when you complete your reservation. Your contributions help ensure the sustainability of our public programs and support guest lecturers and teaching artists.
Two hours before the event, Intuit will email the Zoom link to those who RSVP on Eventbrite. Please check your junk folder; unfortunately, these emails are sent there sometimes.

Meet Skylar
Skylar is a junior at Taft High School and a third-year IntuiTeen. She enjoys learning about artists from different cultural backgrounds and experiencing the many different ways art can be used as a form of expression. During the past year of quarantine, Skylar has made many trips to Michaels craft store looking for new mediums to try out while also spending a lot of time experimenting with the materials available to her at home.
