Queer Self Portraits Painting Workshop

July 27 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
$25

Reimagine yourself through paint in this bold, creative, and affirming workshop led by artist eve bridges! This acrylic painting workshop introduces participants to diverse and imaginative approaches to self-representation, empowering queer individuals to articulate and manifest their own visions of self. While traditional portraiture reflects what the eye sees, this session invites you to defy convention—creating queer self-portraits imagined as landscapes, symbolic collections, or towering deities.

Led by Chicago-based artist Eve Bridges, whose own work reimagines trans and queer bodies as stylized landscapes, the session draws on work by women and LGBTQ+ artists to inspire reflection on what feels essential to one’s identity—especially in a time when definitions of selfhood are increasingly in flux. No experience necessary. Materials provided. All are welcome!
