Workshops

As a MAFA member benefit, artists can improve their skills and art business by attending our popular monthly workshop meetings at no additional charge.

MAFA also provides the workshops free of charge to the public. Each month a professional instructor presents a skill or technique in a hands-on session with a list of materials posted in advance. It's an enjoyable evening of art and socializing.

We hold the workshops on the fourth Wednesday of the month at the Monrovia Community Center from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. All attendees must RSVP in advance by contacting Christine Geltz at christine@monroviafinearts.org.
