Join our third quarter of 2026 Artist-in-Residence, Jimi Benedict, on July 25th, 2026, to learn how to construct a finished three-dimensional cardboard owl. In this course, students will learn how to assemble sculptures through working with this unconventional medium. As Jimi puts it, “I always wanted to simply be free to create…Cardboard is familiar, unglamorous, and a little absurd, which is why it feels right. Making sculpture from it feels like an expression of that freedom”. Learn more and sign up here: https://brmaa.org/owl-july-25-26/

Join us for a Watercolor and Pencil Workshop with instructor Alan R. Young on June 27th & 28th, 2026! As an alternative to traditional watercolor, students will learn to manage watercolors with less water and less absorbent paper. Learning to paint in layers and painting by subtraction are essential to this technique. Students will choose their subject matter for his or her project; for example, use your favorite wildlife, family pet, or another element found in nature. Basic light principles, scale, some basic drawing fundamentals, and use of additional tools for the drybrush media will also be discussed.

The Shape of Clay" is a fine art exhibit showcasing two- and three-dimensional clay artists’ works. These artists combine technical skill, imagination, and craftsmanship to produce works that range from decorative wall pieces and tiles to functional pottery and sculptural forms. In the Branch Gallery, paper artist Jimiyo Benedict sculptures transform common packaging materials into stylized animal forms that sit between craft, design, and folk sculpture. His work emphasizes rhythm, surface pattern, and the structural potential of an everyday medium. The Opening Reception is free and open to the public, join us this Saturday to support these artists!
