WHAT TO EXPECT: Explore the shape of things in this collage workshop with our summer artist-in-residence, Richard Neal (Grand Curio Charade in the Great Hall through Sep 15). Collage invites the artist to create freely and expressively, assembling diverse layers into cohesive artworks. Working in a large format with bold shapes and using a variety of papers, brown paper bags, various pigments and adhesives, each student will create a 36" x 48" collage, building complex images and exploring tonal values and visual composition.

All materials are provided and each student will have their own large workspace. Students are asked to bring examples of source imagery to inspire their work.

Dress to make art and bring a brown-bag lunch for the convivial break.

DON'T FORGET: This class is held on the first floor in the Education Wing. Bring lunch!

INSTRUCTOR: Richard Neal was born in Washington, DC and grew up in Maryland. He earned a Master's degree at the Cranbrook Academy of Art and works at Chalkboard Studio in Barnstable Village on Cape Cod. His work was featured in a three-city tour of Cuba in 2020, and in a 2024 one-person exhibit at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum. In 2026, he will be one of fifteen artists commissioned to participate in an outdoor sculpture exhibit at the Duxbury Art Complex, titled Under Construction: America at 250.

Richard is the inaugural recipient of the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod Fellowship. The writer, André van der Wende has observed that “Neal is a master at creating distressed surfaces full of invention and the unexpected, tough and confrontational in their manufacture and effect.”
