ArtsConnect’s ArtsCalendar is a work in progress. Presently, we are working with a small group of arts organizations from across the Tri-Cities to develop the ArtsCalendar before we open up submissions from all arts organizations and we are not accepting direct submissions at this time. If your organization is interested in joining the ArtsCalendar in the future, please email your name, address, and a brief description of your organization to: [email protected]
This resource has been made possible through the financial support of ArtsConnect’s members. If you would like to support the further development, please consider becoming a member here: Membership

PoCo Creative Drop In Sliding Scale – Painting the Seasons!
Come learn painting with us! Just bring your curiosity and paint shirt!
When painting landscapes, seasons each have their own palette. Learn how to mix unique palette’s to create the mood and season that you have planned for your landscape. In this class you will learn the difference between high key, low key, modern, and neutral colours in the process of creating your own 4 quadrant landscape.
In Spring colours are light and optimistic. This can be achieved by using high key colours to suggest bright light, fresh air, and new leaves. They are luminous, transparent and delicate.
Summer is full of colour, so lively and engaging colours are needed for your florals and landscapes. A Modern palette of deeper colours supports a vibrant and exciting painting.
Autumn is earthy with a full spectrum of darker low key colours in the leaves and trees. The sun’s angle is lower so there are a lot of shadows that change the landscape.
For winter there is a subdued calm and softness that comes with snow. Using cool and warm neutral complementary colours presents a believable winter scene.
Sliding Scale PoCo Creative Drop In
We are proposing a sliding scale for payments for our upcoming painting classes. If most people can pay $20/lesson, we will break even!
We understand everyone’s financial situation is different. To ensure accessibility for all, we’re offering tickets on a sliding scale. The suggested minimum price is $20 – this price covers your materials and instructor fees. There will also be a $10, $25 and $35 options. You’re welcome to pay more if you’re able to. Your choice of price is completely voluntary and does not impact your access to the event. If you are unable to afford the minimum $10 ticket, please email [email protected] and we will secure you a seat, no questions asked. Please consider how much you can contribute to help others attend who might otherwise be unable to, or how it supports the PoCo Arts Council in continuing these events (there is a donation option upon checkout).
Spaces are limited—reserve your spot today!
