Joseph Palmerio is teaching a 3-day workshop, offering a combination of still life and landscape painting, while exploring various palettes. We would like to welcome students with disabilities, including wheelchairs. Classes will be held downstairs at the Center for History, Culture and Art. He will give a demo before each exercise so the student has a working knowledge of what it is he is asking them to do. Beginners and experienced painters are welcome.

On
Thursday, December 1, from 3:30 to 5:30 pm, medical and educational

teaching artist working with disabled individuals. Friday, December 2, Joe will be visiting
students in the classroom.
