Olive Hyde Art Guild

Upcoming Programs

The OHAG Board Program Co-Chairpersons, Lisanne Gollub and Mihika Kulkarni, schedule 5-6 programs during the year, combining demonstrations, field trips, and hands-on experiences. 2024-25 workshops included field trips to the Triton Museum of Art and Bay Area Glass Institute, as well as hands-on introductions to rag wreath construction, alcoholic ink painting, macramé, cardmaking, and needle felted appliqué. 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!
