Set down your phone and step into the world! 

Join local artist Phillip Ochs for three evenings of drawing and community at PS1.

When: Mondays Sept. 28 and Oct. 5 & 12, 6-8pm
Where: PS1 Close Main Hall (538 S. Gilbert)

Each session of Visual Problem Solving with Intentional Compositions will instigate creation using fun, but mildly challenging exercises. Various drawing restraints will be performed throughout and you'll take home artifacts that reflect new methods of rendering, subliminal devices, and picturesque compositions. 

Phillip believes creativity enriches individuals and communities alike. He holds a B.A. in studio arts from the University of Iowa, received the Founders Award at the 2014 Rock Island Art Guild, and has had works displayed at the Figge Art Museum in 2018 and 2024.

Open to ages 14+. Basic drawing materials and tools will be provided. 

Registration deadline: September 25th

Sign up today!

We are encouraging a buy-nothing approach, sharing of skills, supplies, and tools so that these fixes are FREE for all.

Come check out the space and resources, bring a project to share or work on, or use our art supplies to do some making in company with other folks. Stop by for a few minutes or the whole two hours!

These events are free and open to all.
