      <title>One Day Intuitive Abstract Workshop with Kelley MacDonald (Saturday, April 18, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica Neue" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.northriverarts.org/resources/Pictures/Screenshot%202026-03-12%20at%2010.59.46_AM.png" alt="" title="" border="0" width="198" height="152" align="left" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;"&gt;So many of us love the color and line work of Intuitive Abstract pieces, but don’t know where to start to create them.&amp;nbsp; This workshop explores the building of Non Objective work, where there do not have to be any recognizable items or shapes. This method is without planned outcomes, and is spontaneous and surprising.&amp;nbsp; This session is for beginners and experienced painters alike.&amp;nbsp; We will have exercises that release us from intention, and allow for visceral colors, shapes and lines, and then to finish the piece we rely on compositional guidelines to bring the painting together.&amp;nbsp; It will be a fun and supportive day where you will surprise yourself in a good way!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 21px; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" class="WaContentDivider WaContentDivider divider_style_border_dotted" style="border-top-width: 1px;" data-wacomponenttype="ContentDivider"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Instructor: Kelley MacDonald&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.northriverarts.org/resources/Pictures/Screen%20Shot%202022-01-25%20at%2011.47.24%20AM.png" alt="" title="" border="0" width="141.75" height="184" align="left" style="margin: 0px 20px 20px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica Neue" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;After getting her Art History degree at Wheaton College, Kelley continued taking art classes at various Art Associations for 10 years before she started painting.&amp;nbsp; First with watercolor, then oil and now happily with acrylic and mixed media, it has been a lifetime of growing and exploring all things art. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica Neue" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Kelley has won numerous awards, and has taught classes and workshops for many years.&amp;nbsp; While for the majority of her career Kelley has been a literal, representational painter, in the past 4 years she has been diving into abstraction, particularly Intuitive Abstraction.&amp;nbsp; The history involved on the canvas, the multiple layers, the reveal and conceal and push and pull are what attracts her to this method.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica Neue" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;A favorite thing to do is to travel, and be inspired by different landscapes and&amp;nbsp; cityscapes.&amp;nbsp; Kelley has traveled to Holland to paint, along with many places on this side of the ocean, namely Nova Scotia, Sedona, Santa Fe, St. Simon’s Island, Seattle, San Miguel de Allende, MX, California and Maine.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Helvetica Neue" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;In 2009 Kelley founded the Artists’ Challenge Group “Girls Just Wanna Paint” which is a collection of award winning artists&amp;nbsp; who post a response to a new topic every month consecutively since July of 2009. Aside from the Providence Art Club. Kelley is a member of the North River Arts Society in Marshfield, MA.&amp;nbsp; She has taught at the Art Club, Bristol Art Museum, and at North River Arts Society.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Daydream, Deepen &amp; Discover: A Yoga, Meditation, and Collage Workshop with Lauren Champagne and Lindsey Boss (Sunday, April 19, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.northriverarts.org/resources/Pictures/Lindsey-Boss-played-the-role-of-there-til-something-better-came-along-web.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="124" height="159" align="left"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.northriverarts.org/resources/Pictures/Lauren_013.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="238" height="159" style="margin: 0px 20px 20px 0px;" align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="arial, sans-serif"&gt;Step out of the everyday and into an afternoon of movement, meditation, and creation at the North River Arts Society.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;This spring workshop invites you to slow down and ask yourself: “What do I want?” Tap into your daydreams, wander through your imagination, and connect with your inner spark; leave feeling relaxed and renewed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;We’ll begin with a dreamy all-levels yoga practice and immersive sound bath led by Lauren Champagne. Through movement and sound, the body relaxes and the mind becomes more spacious, allowing stagnant creative energy to flow. A guided meditation will deliver you to a dreamlike state where insight and imagination can surface more freely.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;From there, we’ll gather for a guided collage session with artist Lindsey Boss, using imagery, texture, and intuition to explore and give form to what’s been waiting beneath the surface. No experience needed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Bring your yoga mat, your curiosity, and a willingness to explore.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font face="arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;All art materials provided.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.northriverarts.org/resources/Pictures/Lauren_008.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="185" height="123" align="left" style="margin: 0px 20px 20px 0px;"&gt;Lauren Champagne&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;With&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;over 13 years of experience teaching yoga, Lauren Champagne brings a refined, intuitive approach to exploration. She has led hundreds of classes, immersive workshops, and transformational retreats, and opened her own yoga school in 2025 to offer thoughtfully designed teacher training programs and mentorship.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Lauren's classes are known for being fun, inspiring and intentional. Her teaching range includes power yoga, flowy vinyasa, cozy restorative yoga, sound healing and yoga Nidra.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Whether leading a class, workshop or retreat, Lauren creates spaces that are welcoming, safe and nurturing where yogis can deepen their practice, reconnect with themselves, and experience something lasting beyond the mat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.northriverarts.org/resources/Pictures/lindseybossheadshot.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="156" height="169" align="left" style="margin: 0px 20px 20px 0px;"&gt;Lindsey Boss&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The hunt for imagery,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-wacopycontent="1" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-weight: 400;"&gt;primarily from the 50s-80s, is a huge part of the process. The collages are a way of making sense of her&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-wacopycontent="1" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-weight: 400;"&gt;own life experiences, but the goal is to evoke a wide range of feelings and reassurance within the viewer,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-wacopycontent="1" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-weight: 400;"&gt;as they make sense of their own experiences.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-wacopycontent="1" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-weight: 400;"&gt;Over the past 10 years, Lindsey has been showing her work in and around the Boston area, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span data-wacopycontent="1" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-weight: 400;"&gt;has done some album art. She is happy to be bringing more of it into the beautiful South Shore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" class="WaContentDivider WaContentDivider divider_style_border_solid" style="border-top-width: 1px;" data-wacomponenttype="ContentDivider"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Students will weave a classic cane basket around a glass jar base, then finish their piece with a fitted lid and signature Nantucket-style details.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font&gt;In the 1980’s when I was raising my two sons I had a basket making business&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;called Duxbury Bay Baskets. I taught classes all over the Boston area, sold my creations at art and fine craft fairs, and exhibited my work in local art shows. I put my reeds away in the 1990’s when I started my 25 year career as an Interior Designer. After my husband and I retired I picked up a Nantucket basket that had been sitting unfinished for a decade and I was once again smitten! I encouraged him to learn this amazing craft and he has been a talented student. We started Nimble Fingers Studio three years ago and now teach shaker style baskets, Nantucket baskets and Nantucket bracelets. We are delighted that you will be joining us for a class.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Creative Portrait Photography with Amy Reichenbach (Saturday, May 09, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" color="#333333"&gt;&lt;span style="margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#050505"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.northriverarts.org/resources/Pictures/948B0299-2.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="230" height="153" align="left" style="margin: 0px 20px 20px 0px;"&gt;Welcome to creative portrait photography! In this one-day workshop, you can look forward to learning and practicing new creative techniques in photographic portraiture. Our time together will be structured around two&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#050505"&gt;hands-on collaborative photoshoots&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#050505"&gt;. Some examples of concepts we may explore include prisms, water, colorful lighting, making your own creative filters to shoot through, and more! Models and materials will be provided, just bring your&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#050505"&gt;camera or smartphone&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#050505"&gt;. There will also be some opportunities to jump in front of the camera if you’d like a few portraits of yourself! We’ll be focusing mainly on portraiture, but some of the techniques you’ll learn can certainly be applied to other subjects as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#050505" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Our objectives are to spark creativity, create compelling imagery, learn new techniques, and have fun in creative community!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Art of Seaweed Pressing with Stephanie King (Saturday, June 06, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.northriverarts.org/resources/Pictures/S.King%20Bythe%20Sea.JPG" alt="" title="" border="0" width="201" height="197" align="left" style="margin: 0px 20px 20px 0px;"&gt;Get ready to jump in and get your hands wet!&amp;nbsp; Your nature art journey starts here. Designed to coincide with World Ocean Day, this class sets the stage for deeper engagement with the world's oceans and to raise awareness about the vital role oceans play in our lives — from regulating climate and producing oxygen to providing food, jobs, and biodiversity.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Join Cape Cod educator/artist, Stephanie King, for a relaxed and creative workshop on the unique art of seaweed pressing.&amp;nbsp; In this workshop we will make seaweed pressings using drift seaweed collected off the coastline of Cape Cod.&amp;nbsp; Together we will learn how to create a “travel” press as well as learn the basic techniques for pressing seaweed on to paper.&amp;nbsp; Collecting seaweed that has washed ashore is a lovely way to enjoy nature and create art with very little environmental impact. This art form is a wonderful way to relax, go with the flow and preserve your seaside memories.&amp;nbsp; We will make several pressings of seaweed that can be used in scrapbooking, made into cards, or framed.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*For the love of the land and sea, all materials will be sustainably collected on Cape Cod by the instructor.&amp;nbsp; Please bring a small container to bring some leftover seaweed home for further exploration.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Instructor: Stephanie King&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.northriverarts.org/resources/Pictures/SKing%20SeaweedArt.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="141" height="188" align="left" style="margin: 0px 20px 20px 0px;"&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font&gt;Stephanie King is a native of Massachusetts. She maintains a full-time studio in Sandwich, MA. Stephanie is a Cape Cod based eco-artist who creates mixed media art on paper, canvas and wood panels using seaweed and botanicals. With a background in Sociology and Montessori education, Stephanie transitioned into a career in the visual arts in 2023. Driven by an innate desire to create and an aspiration to effect positive change in herself and her community, Stephanie’s art invites viewers to see seaweed and botanicals in new ways. She has been observing and studying plants, seaweed and nature through an artistic lens since 2005. She established ‘Seaside Botanical Art’ on Cape Cod in 2023. Since then, her artwork has been included in several group exhibitions as well as two solo shows on Cape Cod. She received an honorable mention in the 2024 Autumn Juried Exhibition at the Falmouth Art Center. In the Fall of 2025, Stephanie received the C.A.R.E for the Cape &amp;amp; Islands Stewardship Award for her commitment to preserve and enhance the natural environment, culture and history of the Cape and Islands. In addition to practicing sustainable methods while collecting drift seaweed and wild botanicals, she regularly cleans beaches and uses her work to educate and create behavior change.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Bring your preferred materials and enjoy a supportive, inspiring environment to grow your figure drawing skills.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Bring a piece of clothing that needs some love (cotton, denim, and linen items are preferable!) and give it a new lease on life. Mending tools, fabric, and a take-home instruction sheet will be provided, but please bring a pair of scissors. You may also bring any scrap fabric you’d like to use as a patch. No prior sewing experience is needed — come learn something new!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Fearless Drawing - More is More! with Suzette Lebenzon (Saturday, June 20, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;&lt;font style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.northriverarts.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_0148.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="160" height="219" align="left" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;"&gt;You can do this! Explore sketching with abandonment. Step out of your comfort zone and draw with a variety of materials, letting all the imperfections, “mistakes,” and corrections lead you to beautiful discoveries and exciting images. Perfectionism is highly overrated. Let fearless mark making lead you to dynamic images that engage and delight! Layer, smudge, erase…it’s all good.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;In this workshop, we will look at some of the masters of intuitive drawing (both past and present) for inspiration. You will watch Suzette demonstrate various techniques and be coached through exercises using different mediums. You will utilize still life as subject matter. Please bring 3-5 objects from your home to arrange in your space and a patterned dishtowel or fabric piece to wrap into the still life. Anything goes! Ordinary objects are often poetic. Don’t over think what you bring in. Suzette encourages you to bring the drawing tools you already have in your kit and not to worry if you don’t have every element on the extended&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 14px;" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;materials list. Get ready to wow yourself…&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
