Interested in practicing painting and life drawing with a model? Join our weekly drawing group at Imago Gallery, 36 Market Street, Warren, RI, on Wednesdays from 1–4 PM. Artists of all skill levels are welcome. Donations are collected to pay the model and offset any gallery expenses.
All participants must be 18 years of age or older and must bring their own supplies including drawing and painting materials, surfaces and easels. Tables and chairs will be provided. The sessions are structured with one model holding the same pose for the evening for 20-minute intervals with 5 to 10-minute breaks in-between to give everyone the opportunity to develop a portrait over the full three-hour session. To sign up in advance, please email imagogallery@gmail.com or stop in with your own supplies and join the group!

Explore the power and meaning of amulets at Imago
Don't miss this two-part program at the gallery presented by Jeweler and Designer Lisa Lowenstein. Her free artist talk will be followed by small-group hands-on workshops. Choose one, or all three dates offered.
People have sought comfort in personal objects through the ages. Lisa references archeology, art history, spirituality and psychology. Participants are encouraged to bring their own meaningful objects to the talk which concludes with the communal exchange of "show and tell" stories about these items. The talk will be streamed on Facebook and later uploaded to the gallery’s YouTube page and forwarded to all registered participants.
The second portion of the program is dedicated to hands-on “create your own amulet” workshops using materials from the artist's studio on March 23, 24 or 25, which you can book as an "add on" when you register for the artist's talk. There will be specialty materials for sale as well. Makers’ skills are not required—there will be guidance and, for a small fee, items can be completed by Lisa after the workshop.
A designer and jeweler, Lisa lived for 15 years in Rome before creating Fulva Fusca, an experience that informs her Greco-Roman influenced art. Her jewelry blends aesthetic, historic and spiritual influences that are documented for each creation.
Eight Feet Tall
Sunday, March 30 | 4–6 PM | Imago Gallery | $20
Join Imago Foundation for the Arts as we welcome traditional Irish dance and music of Eight Feet Tall as part of its Music at Imago Series.
Featuring instrumentalists Dan Accardi (the Ivy Leaf) and Armand Aromin (the Ivy Leaf, the Vox Hunters) and dancers Rebecca McGowan and Jackie O’Riley (co-creators of From the Floor, 2022 Massachusetts Cultural Council Fellows in Choreography), Eight Feet Tall approaches steps and tunes with both intense respect for tradition and keen sensitivity to the shared rhythmic experience of music and dance. Instruments, shoes, voices, and whole bodies enter into conversation with one another to create complex sonic textures amid vibrant visual interplay.
Tickets will be available at the door or may be purchased in advance on EventBrite. Reserve by email or phone: 401.392.1322.
