By-Hand How-To Workshop Series
Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art
August 2024 – May 2025
12–4 p.m. on selected dates
Keep your hands active and your mind engaged with the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art’s new By-Hand How-To workshops. From August 2024 until May 2025 we’ll have artists here almost every month to guide you gently through a series of new skills—crochet, botanical drawing, and more.
Each workshop session runs from 12–4 p.m. but you can arrive and leave at any time. Materials are provided by the Marjorie Barrick Museum. Guests of all ages are welcome. No previous experience is required. Join us from August 27–30 for sunprint workshops led by Ali Fathollahi, followed in September by Crochet 101 with Ailene Pasco (September 18–21) and Photomontage Collage with Diane Bush (October 16–19).
This program is supported, in part, by the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency, which receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, and the state of Nevada.
All of the museum’s galleries are accessible to wheelchair users and other visitors who cannot use stairs. Services such as sign language interpretation can be arranged. Please contact the museum to discuss your needs: barrick.museum@unlv.edu, 702-895-3381.
About the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art believes everyone deserves access to art that challenges our understanding of the present and inspires us to create a future that holds space for us all. Located on the campus of one of the most racially diverse universities in the U.S., we strive to create a nourishing environment for those who continue to be neglected by contemporary art museums. As the only art museum in the city of Las Vegas, we commit ourselves to leveling barriers that limit access to the arts. Our collection of artworks offers an opportunity for everyone to develop a deeper knowledge of contemporary art in Southern Nevada. The Barrick Museum is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
