ENJOYMENT AND EXPERIENCE
"I enjoyed meeting the Artists and hearing them discuss their work. I also enjoyed seeing the various painting techniques"
"The experience was great, I was slightly nervous about meeting the artists but they were all so friendly…. Seeing the artwork was impressive…. Looking at the techniques has helped me with my own work. I really enjoyed the visit."
THE BUILDING
