“Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport.” —Anonymous

The Wanderlust art exhibit at Del Ray Artisans celebrates adventure, travel, and new experiences. Whether you’re floating through the Arctic fjords in Norway, wandering the crowded streets of Mumbai, savoring a sweet, chewy macaroon in a small Parisian cafe, or taking in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Grand Canyon… the world is full of rich experiences that bridge cultures and help us cultivate connections that go beyond borders. Wanderlust showcases diversity and sharing beauty found in every corner of this world, both near and far. Join us for the Opening Reception on Friday, June 1 from 7-9pm. The exhibit runs June 1-24, 2018.

Two special workshops are also being held in June during the exhibit:

  1. “Playing with Resin” Workshop on June 10 from 6-9pm
    Come play with resin in a safe environment and learn the ins and outs of mixing resin and using it in your art.
  2. “Wanderlust: How to Make Art While Traveling” Workshop on June 16 from 1-5pm
    Join us for a fun and explorative afternoon learning how to make art on the road while still traveling light.
