Join us for an an immersive, hands-on workshop in which participants will explore the intersection of art and the environment under the guidance of artist Evelyn Rydz. Inspired by the installation Holding Water, participants will engage with themes of water conservation, sustainability, and the natural world through creative expression.


Drawing inspiration from Rydz’s own work, which often explores human connections to nature, participants will have the opportunity to experiment with watercolor pencils, ink, and meditative drawing.


This workshop is best suited for ages 16+.


About the Artist:

Multidisciplinary artist Evelyn Rydz creates work across drawing, site-responsive installations and community projects. Her artistic practice centers on interconnected bodies of water, highlighting relationships between personal histories, human impacts, and threats to natural and cultural ecosystems. In her participatory projects, Rydz creates spaces for intergenerational community conversations and collective art making exploring immigration, public health, ancestral foods, and ways we are shaped by our sense of home.


Rydz received her MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and is currently Professor at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
