The focus is not upon the finished work but upon the experience of discovery and making art. \nIn the workshop\, after two or three hours\, the group gathers to discuss what has been created.  The purpose of the discussion is to help each person recognize the beauty in their work. Or\, in the words of Ann O’Hanlon\, our purpose is “to look upon a seemingly random work of our own with interest” and with “the same fulfillment… experienced on an unknown wilderness trail.” \nSundays\, 10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.\n$55 | $44 OHCA members + \n$10 materials fee paid to facilitator on day of workshop \n7 people MAX (online registration closes at 3:00pm the prior Friday)\n \nART DETAIL: JANET GREENWOOD\n \n\nAbout Candis Cousins \n  \nCandis Cousins first came to the Center in 1972. Ann O’Hanlon was alive and at that time the Center was called ‘Sight and Insight.’ On Candis’ first day\, Ann’s suggestion for working was this: “Every decision you make\, try to make the wrong decision.” \nIn 2002\, Candis returned to OHCA to join the mono printing group led by Cayen Robertson and Karen Cox. In her own work\, Candis tries to keep moving forward without a plan\, just to see what comes. \n  \n“It is such an invigorating\, soul-finding experience to facilitate this workshop. A love-fest\, a laugh-fest on the high seas of creativity!” \n– Candis \n  URL:https://www.ohanloncenter.org/event/monoprinting-with-candis-cousins-2-18-2024/ LOCATION:O’Hanlon Center for the Arts CATEGORIES:Visual Arts ORGANIZER;CN="OHCA Staff":MAILTO:office@ohanloncenter.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240218T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240218T190000 DTSTAMP:20260421T162201 CREATED:20231230T192959Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240128T151308Z UID:20001889-1708272000-1708282800@www.ohanloncenter.org SUMMARY:Sunday Salon "LOVE" with Murphy Productions (NEW DATE) DESCRIPTION: \nThe LOVE Salon\n(New Date: Sun Feb 18)\n \nPoetry • Storytelling • Dance • Music • Art\n \nGather at 4pm to socialize.Bring your favorite beverage to share.\nProgram starts at 5 pm.\n \n$15 general admission\nTickets available online until 2:00pm day of event.Tickets usually available at the door\, subject to capacity! \n\n \n \n \n \n \n List of Performers:\nDon Kline – Music\nCaylia Chaiken – Music\nMark Olson – Music\nJulia Riger – Belly Dance\nBellamy Ackrell – Music\nCollette Sell – Poetry\nLorin Rowan – Music\nBarbara Carbone – Story\nGabby Rilleau – Poetry\nClaudia Russell and Bruce Kaplan – Music\nDiana & Dave – Reading\nRob Rebbe – Poetry\nTim Ryan – Music URL:https://www.ohanloncenter.org/event/sunday-salon-love-with-murphy-productions/ LOCATION:O’Hanlon Center for the Arts CATEGORIES:Community Events,Performing Arts,Special Events,Visual Arts END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240219T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240223T170000 DTSTAMP:20260421T162201 CREATED:20231129T215508Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231130T195610Z UID:20001872-1708333200-1708707600@www.ohanloncenter.org SUMMARY:Artists Retreat - Winter 2024 DESCRIPTION:“OHCA retreats offer a rare\, deepening experience. In the expanse of time\, the quiet and the connection to friends working nearby\, my confidence and powers of insight are strengthened.”\n   – Candis Cousins \nMonday to Friday\,\nFebruary 19–23\, 2024\n9 a.m. to 5 p.m. \nOHCA is once again offering a week-long ARTIST RETREAT. \nThis is a 5-day opportunity for artists to work independently but in the company of other dedicated artists. This is not a workshop\, and there will be no instruction. What there will be is an opportunity for serious self-directed artists to work in a quiet atmosphere for a sustained period of time\, working together but independently in the spirit of creativity. \nThe Retreat is open to anyone who agrees to some simple rules: \n\nThere is to be no talking except for quietly outside during the hours of 9-5. \nNo music is allowed except with earphones. \nNo visitors. \nParticipants will be responsible for their own lunch and art supplies unless otherwise designated. \nArtists may leave their supplies and work set up during the week and will be required to clean up afterwards.\n\nSpace is limited to 5 visual artists and 1 writer.\nSpace allocations will be determined by the group. \nFriday afternoon everyone gets together to socialize and share their work/process. \n  \nWeek-long retreat: $180 | $150 OHCA members. \n  \n  \n  \nPhotos: Janet Greenwood URL:https://www.ohanloncenter.org/event/artists-retreat-winter-2024/ LOCATION:O’Hanlon Center for the Arts CATEGORIES:Visual Arts ORGANIZER;CN="OHCA Staff":MAILTO:office@ohanloncenter.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240220T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240220T140000 DTSTAMP:20260421T162201 CREATED:20231118T154132Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240420T193956Z UID:20001770-1708423200-1708437600@www.ohanloncenter.org SUMMARY:Tuesday Perception Workshop DESCRIPTION:Explore\, experiment\, and discover your unique form of creative expression. \nThe Visual Perception workshops are hands-on creating with materials\, experimenting\, and discovering without dependence on technique.

It breeds excitement and enjoyment of the process. \nI like the mix of people and their art. \nIt is free and fun. \nI like that I can get into the flow of art and forget the stressful world. \nI look forward to stepping into another time and place. It is a magical experience to visit this special piece of land at the foot of Mt Tam. \nBeing with people who care about art and artists is something I find worthwhile. I feel lucky to have discovered this class. It informs me well beyond 4 hours on Saturday. \nThis Saturday workshop serves as a tool to open up all of my senses and I  come alive. \nThe setting is gorgeous and serene. \nI love Saturday class.
