Create art that beautifies dark spaces with this blacklight painting workshop! The workshop will last 2 hours. All supplies are included. Registration begins via TerpLink on Monday, August 28, 2023; limited space available. Only open to current UMD students.

Studio A, formerly known as The Art and Learning Center, is an interactive center encouraging the self-expression and self-development of the UMD community. They offer a creative outlet for students, faculty/staff, and community members via non-credit courses in the arts. Through weekly classes and frequent workshops, they provide the opportunity to learn new skills, explore a topic, or pursue a creative passion. In addition, they serve as a creative partner for student groups, campus organizations, and departments by offering a physical space and environment for people to come together and create. Studio A encourages people to engage individually and as a team with different modes of perception and expression.

This event will be held in Studio A at Adele H. Stamp Student Union.
