As part of this Art of Nature exhibit special, join an esteemed artist as you learn the science and art behind the most adorable sea slug around!
Featuring beautiful scientific illustration displays from the exhibit, this program is perfect for aspiring artists and marine biologists alike.
Taught by a professional illustrator and exhibitor, this workshop will begin with a scientific presentation on nudibranch sea slugs before transitioning to the painting portion. Using the artist’s exhibit materials as references, participants will use acrylic paint and decorate their own 3D-printed nudibranch for a one-of-a-kind marine mollusk masterpiece.
No prior experience required. Participants will have a completed art piece to take home at the conclusion of the workshop. Open to ages 16+/all experience levels. All supplies included.
FYI: This class takes place indoors. Supplies may get messy, so casual attire is recommended.

Poisoned apples. Glass slippers. Who needs 'em?

Not Snow White and her posse of disenchanted princesses, that's for sure!

This Mother's Day weekend, leave the little ones at home and come to Sunset Center to see the critically acclaimed new musical, Disenchanted!

This show is intended for audiences 18+. Parental discretion is advised.
