Join us for another member art-making session! Enjoy a night of open-ended collage with artist and educator Kaitlyn Tucek.

Collage is a medium that has long been used for its ability to excavate the subconscious and to take existing material into alternative directions. After a short discussion about the magic of collage, highlighting contemporary collage artists working today, participants will receive tools and materials and will be given prompts to create as well as an open-ended time for personal play. Participants will be able to go home with the work they create from the materials provided.

This event is limited to members and their guests. Not a member? Join today.

Space is limited. Registration is required. Please note that there is a $5 materials fee.

Artist Statement

With undercurrents of art historical references as well as folk and popular illustration influence, Tucek’s work is a fantasia, charged with a queer and feminine sexual energy.

Always pushing the boundaries between drawing and painting, space and time, surreality and reality, chaos and control, Tucek creates fairy tales for viewers to escape into.

In addition to two-dimensional works, Tucek has created events such as The Dinner Party in September of 2023, and off-site installations like The Lilac Hour in the Ashcroft Ghost Town outside of Aspen, CO.  Tucek often writes poetic narratives to parallel her two-dimensional bodies of work. Tucek also engages in installation, textile, sculptural, video, and sound work and frequently creates and facilitates figure drawing programming in Colorado.
