LINDSBORG — The Smoky Valley Arts and Folklife Center is preparing to welcome artists of all ages for its annual Summer Art Week, running July 7-10, featuring hands-on workshops inspired by renowned artists including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Pablo Picasso.
The four-day creative intensive offers programming designed for multiple age groups, with specialized classes for children ages 4-6, youth ages 7-10, and adults 15 and older. Each workshop draws inspiration from the techniques and styles of master artists, providing participants with opportunities to explore different artistic approaches while developing their own creative skills.
