    Description

    Bring your favorite painting supplies and join a group of local artists experiencing visual challenges. This is a FREE drop-in opportunity to connect with other artists. This group is open to all students who enjoy painting.

    ABOUT VIP (Visually Impaired Painters)

    The VIP Group’s founding members are artists experiencing varying degrees of vision loss. To accommodate loss of vision, but continue painting, they were determined to evolve toward an increasingly “loose”, impressionistic style. This group helps foster new ways to support and encourage artists that are experiencing a loss of sight. Each week a student will take the lead and introduce a new technique to the group. The group has enjoyed trying new techniques and discussing challeneges that they face in and out of the studio.  The group also serves as a motivation to keep going.

    Crooked Tree Arts Center will be hosting the VIP Group of painters, on a weekly basis, in our Traverse City cornwell classroom. There will be occasional guests artists (fee based instruction) and lectures.
