Darker Joys Workshop

Darker Joys is a Small Group Exhibition featuring artwork by Katie Lane, Keith MacLelland, Stephanie Todhunter, and Amantha Tsaros.

About the Workshop | Spend the afternoon decorating a large triple layer “cake” with acrylic paint and glitter using traditional cake decorating tools.  Katie Lane will demonstrate her mad mixed media skills (she uses cake decorating equipment in her daily practice, along with glitter and fluorescent paints).  Guests will participate in the decorating process and will be encouraged to release their inhibitions and let their inner children out. The resulting community created artwork will remain on display for the remainder of the show.  We will also have real cupcakes, colorful treats and big bowls of candy for visitors to indulge upon. This event will be a fun and hedonistic escape from our daily stressful lives.

About the Exhibit | In Darker Joys four CAA artists invite you into their creative playground to revel in your base human instincts: a tangible expression of excess, a fearless exploration of medium and subject and an eagerness to surprise the viewer in ways both bold and subtle.

We encourage you to gorge on those sweets and embrace the guilt and pleasure: lazy weekends, late night bacchanalia, tv binge watching, fast food, rollercoaster riding. Nothing is too frivolous, wicked or absurd.

Come up into our clubhouse! Push the red button! Grab the last cookie! All the fun with none of the consequences.

Come on, join us. EVERYONE is doing it.
