Workshop: Yarn Paintings

Join us for a lively yarn painting workshop led by acclaimed artist Andrea Arroyo. Explore traditional patterns while creating your unique piece of art.

In this workshop, attendees will craft their yarn paintings, drawing inspiration from the visionary art of the Wixárika people. Utilizing a palette of multicolored yarns, participants will each produce a distinctive piece of art rooted in traditional patterns. We invite you to a creative expression and communal exchange session as we pay tribute to this magnificent culture.

Advance registration is required due to limited space. The workshop is exclusively for adults.

Participants are welcome to use the provided art supplies but may bring their preferred materials or sketches.

Andrea Arroyo is an acclaimed artist who creates in diverse mediums, such as painting, artist books, mixed media, digital works, public art, and installations. Her art is showcased and preserved worldwide in esteemed collections like The Library of Congress, The National Museum of Mexican Art, The Richmond Museum, The Smithsonian Institution, and The New York Public Library.

This workshop is part of our Imagine Mexico: Art Enrichment program, made possible by the West Harlem Development Corporation, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, and the CUNY Mexican Studies Institute.
