Holiday for the Arts Members Juried Show
Upcoming Programs
The OHAG Board Program Chairperson schedules 5-6 programs during the year, combining demonstrations, field trips, and hands-on experiences. 2025-26 workshops included hands-on introductions to the creation of beaded bracelets, working with polymer clay, Warli art, and photography, and demonstrations of oil painting and quilting. Programs are open to Guild members and the public, and are a great chance to observe and try various art forms throughout the year.
We hope to see you at a program this year, and welcome your thoughts for future art programs. Art brings us together!
Programs will return in September. You can check out our previous programs, for an idea of the range of activities offered.
Dot Mandala Workshop
Kanchan
Thursday, September 24
Join us for an art workshop on Dot Mandala led by Kanchan at the Mission Room, Olive Hyde Art Guild on Thursday, 24th September from 10:00AM to 12:00PM.
By day Kanchan works in the technology industry but art is her driving force and therapy.
Kanchan loves exploring different forms of art, including dot mandala, decoupage, painting, and block printing. She especially enjoys making art approachable and believes you don’t have to be an “artist” to experience the joy and calm that comes from creating something with your own hands.
In this workshop, participants will transform a simple planter pot using dot mandala painting. Mandala, a Sanskrit word meaning “circle,” has its roots in ancient Hindu and Buddhist traditions and represents ideas of balance, wholeness, and harmony. The repetitive process of placing dots and watching a pattern gradually emerge can be wonderfully calming and meditative, leaving the artist with not only a beautiful project, but also a little reminder to slow down, create, and enjoy the process.
There will be a materials fee of $8, payable by cash, Venmo or Zelle on the day. Please note that space is limited, so please RSVP.
