SUMMARY:Stories in Stone: A Walking Tour of the Maitland Art Center
DESCRIPTION:Step behind the gates of the Maitland Art Center and into a world shaped by vision\, imagination\, and legacy.\nThis one-hour guided tour takes you through the gardens and courtyards of a campus like no other—founded in the 1930s by American artist and architect J. André Smith as a haven for modern experimentation and creative freedom. \nClick here to reserve your tickets>>\nExperience the Tour\nAs your guide leads you through the campus\, you’ll trace the story of Smith’s life—from his childhood in Hong Kong to his service in World War I to the founding of the Maitland Art Center\, which he called “Espero\,” a Spanish word for hope. These experiences—and his Episcopal faith—influenced the extraordinary design of the campus: a blend of Mayan Revival architecture with embedded Christian symbolism and East Asian motifs. The result is a surreal\, immersive environment—at once spiritual\, exotic\, and modern—where over 2\,500 carvings\, sculptures\, and reliefs adorn nearly every surface. \nAlong the way\, you’ll learn about the community of artists who lived and worked here between the 1930s and 1950s—names like Milton Avery\, Ralston Crawford\, and Doris Lee—and how this hidden Florida enclave became one of the state’s most forward-thinking creative centers. \n\nIncluded with the Tour\n\nMaitland Art Center Gallery\nMaitland History Museum\nTelephone Museum\n\nTickets\n\n$4-$6 (includes 3 museums & grounds)\nFree for members\nSuitable for all ages; recommended for ages 13+\n\nClick here to reserve your tickets>>

SUMMARY:Automatic Drawing
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Ryan Price \nLocation: Cottage at Lake Lily \nCost: $60 + $5 material fees \nMaterials fees must be paid in cash directly to the instructor\, and are due on the day of the workshop. \nNo drawing experience is required! Open to all levels. Automatic drawing is a technique named by and commonly used by the Surrealists\, which involves the artist directly and randomly moving the pen or drawing tool with no preconceived image or plan. This technique is similar to what writers termed “Stream of consciousness” writing\, where\, through a mental shift\, drawing automatically allows participants to let their subconscious flow through their hands. \nParticipants will be encouraged to draw their hearts’ content out and learn to unshackle themselves from hesitation caused by the anxiety of being confronted by a blank sheet. Students will create many drawings using many different materials to get them out of their heads and out of their comfort zones. Students will learn about processes like automatism\, frottage\, and responsive drawing. The drawing doesn’t ever have to be quote-on-quote finished; it can be left as a single deposit of personal memory. There is no right or wrong way to practice automatic drawing. \nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Creating Impasto Flowers
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Monica Diaz \nLocation: Cottage at Lake Lily \nCost: $75 + $10 material fees \nMaterials fees must be paid in cash directly to the instructor\, and are due on the day of the workshop. \nLet your creativity blossom in this richly textured painting workshop where flowers become vibrant\, sculptural works of art. Using the expressive technique of impasto\, you’ll learn to build thick\, dimensional layers of paint that capture the curl of petals\, the glow of sunlight\, and the lush movement of a blooming garden. \nThrough guided demonstrations and hands-on exploration\, you’ll experiment with palette knives\, bold color mixing\, and dynamic mark-making—transforming simple floral forms into lively\, touchable textures. Whether you’re inspired by wildflowers\, roses\, or abstract botanical shapes\, this workshop invites you to loosen up\, play with depth\, and celebrate the beauty of organic form. \nPerfect for beginners and experienced artists alike\, this class offers a joyful\, tactile approach to painting that lets your flowers leap off the canvas. \nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Kitchen Lithography Printing
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Ryan Price \nLocation: Cottage at Lake Lily \nCost: $60 + $10 material fees.  \nMaterials fees must be paid in cash directly to the instructor\, and are due on the day of the workshop. \nParticipants will be using household items to learn how to make lithography prints. Each participant will receive a sheet of aluminum foil mounted to a wooden board and a Sharpie to draw images on. Once students have finalized their image\, they will use Coca-Cola to “etch” the plate\, rinse with water\, dry\, and apply canola oil\, then buff it into the place. They can begin the inking to the plate\, run it through the press\, or create a rubbing with a wooden spoon. This workshop will provide participants with an idea of how the process of lithography works with a low-stakes and low-cost approach. Each person leaves with a new skill and a print. Open to all levels! \nRegister Here! \n

SUMMARY:Stories in Stone: A Walking Tour of the Maitland Art Center
DESCRIPTION:Step behind the gates of the Maitland Art Center and into a world shaped by vision\, imagination\, and legacy.\nThis one-hour guided tour takes you through the gardens and courtyards of a campus like no other—founded in the 1930s by American artist and architect J. André Smith as a haven for modern experimentation and creative freedom. \nClick here to reserve your tickets>>\nExperience the Tour\nAs your guide leads you through the campus\, you’ll trace the story of Smith’s life—from his childhood in Hong Kong to his service in World War I to the founding of the Maitland Art Center\, which he called “Espero\,” a Spanish word for hope. These experiences—and his Episcopal faith—influenced the extraordinary design of the campus: a blend of Mayan Revival architecture with embedded Christian symbolism and East Asian motifs. The result is a surreal\, immersive environment—at once spiritual\, exotic\, and modern—where over 2\,500 carvings\, sculptures\, and reliefs adorn nearly every surface. \nAlong the way\, you’ll learn about the community of artists who lived and worked here between the 1930s and 1950s—names like Milton Avery\, Ralston Crawford\, and Doris Lee—and how this hidden Florida enclave became one of the state’s most forward-thinking creative centers. \n\nIncluded with the Tour\n\nMaitland Art Center Gallery\nMaitland History Museum\nTelephone Museum\n\nTickets\n\n$4-$6 (includes 3 museums & grounds)\nFree for members\nSuitable for all ages; recommended for ages 13+\n\nClick here to reserve your tickets>>
