Oil painting on a slick translucent surface? Yes please! Yupo is a smooth, slick, waterproof, paper-like surface. Unlike traditional painting surfaces, paint slips and slides across yupo – leading to bold brushwork, fluid imagery, and a uniquely fun painting experience. Bring a reference photo of an image you’d like to paint (figure, animal, still life, landscape – anything goes!). We’ll follow a simple 3 step process to explore the beautiful potential of this unique medium. No painting experience necessary – experienced painters as well as brand new beginners with leave the workshop with a completed painting, fresh ideas, and a clear understanding of the unique properties of pairing oil and yupo.

The Big Sing: 3:00–5:00 PM
Ever belt out your favorite song in the car and think, “I wish I could do this with other people,”? Here’s your chance! Special guest Moira Smiley, a GRAMMY®-nominated singer, composer, and educator, will lead us through an afternoon of music-making that’s as fun as it is freeing.Think of this event as a musical gathering place where everyone is welcome and no preparation is required. Moira will guide you through simple vocal warmups that feel like games, folk songs that’ll get stuck in your head (in the best way), and gorgeous harmonies that you’ll help create. With a string quartet of New Mexico musicians adding their magic to the mix, you’ll be amazed at the sound we can all create.
All ages, all levels, all voices are welcome. That includes yours! Minors must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Seating will be available for all, with occasional invitations to stand as songs come together.

Join us for our biggest community singing event yet!
