I love the uniquely freeing feeling of abstract art—no rules, no restrictions, just pure self-expression on canvas. If you’ve ever wanted to dive into the world of modern abstract painting, you'll love our next workshop!
On Friday, March 28, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM, Padre Island Art Gallery will host an exclusive Abstract Art Workshop with Joseph Raymond II, an artist known for his contemporary approach to abstract expressionism. Registration is available online with the attached QR code or visit: www.padreislandartgallery.com/specialevents
You’re all invited to Joseph’s Art Show that evening from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM—a chance to meet the artist, explore his work, and celebrate creativity. Admission is free.
More Than Just a Workshop—This Is an Experience
Under Joseph’s expert guidance, you’ll create your own 16”x20” abstract masterpiece, exploring innovative techniques, bold color palettes, and expressive textures. All supplies are included, so all you need to bring is your enthusiasm.
Abstract art isn’t just about making something visually striking—it’s about tapping into emotion, movement, and personal expression. Joseph’s teaching style encourages experimentation, helping each participant find their own artistic voice in a relaxed and inspiring environment.
Spots are limited, so don’t miss out! This workshop is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the fun and creative world of modern abstract art.
