Emerging Artist Series

Emerging Artists Series is a free workshop led by regional emerging artists that takes place at Samuel Bak Museum: the Learning Center. The workshop, which runs from 1:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M., will begin with a tour of the current exhibition by Assistant Gallery Manager Roxana Corral, followed by an art-making session.

Shawnequa Linder is a multi-disciplinary artist who explores in her work the intersection of color, texture, and emotion. With a passion for using bold palettes and unexpected materials, Shawnequa creates captivating pieces that invite the viewer to see the world in a new light. From painting/photography/mixed media to installations, Shawnequa’s approach experiments with form and function to push the boundaries of traditional art making.

Linder’s workshop prompts participants to engage with historical traumas and offer alternative stories through interactive activities and discussions. Participants will explore how Robert Rauschenberg and Samuel Bak used collage and image layering, and then create their own collage to discuss collective effort of remembrance and reconciliation. (10 participants max) RSVP required. Free to the public.
