2008 Workshops

Parker Artists Guild (PAG) and GCRAG  will sponsor workshops jointly this year.  Some of the workshops will be held in Parker and some will be in CR.  Barb  Cohen (PAG) will be the contact person for some of the workshops and Lori Beckman (GCRAG) will be the contact person for others.  Barb and Lori will work together on all arrangements for the workshops and will both attend them to make sure things run smoothly.  The cost of the workshops will be the same for members of either guild, but most workshops will have a higher fee for those who do not belong to either guild.  All the workshops will be advertised in the PAG newsletter and on both websites. 

The following workshops have been scheduled and all of them still have room for additional students.

May 24

 Robert Burridge Painting Workshops in Larkspur, Colorado!

On   Monday, May 19 through Saturday May 24, 2008, Robert Burridge, internationally acclaimed painter, author and teacher returns to teach art workshops in Larkspur, Colorado.    His workshops in 2007 were a sell out!  The first workshop, “Abstract Acrylic Painting and Collage” will be a 5-day workshop from May 19-23 and will focus on abstract and collage techniques using aqua media. 

On Saturday, May 24, Bob and his manger, Kate Burridge, will also present a 1-day “Art Marketing” Workshop.  In this workshop you’ll learn Bob’s successful method for getting into (and winning) more shows, as well as a foolproof method for photographing your work, how to best approach galleries to represent you, and how to deal with copyright and licensing issues. 

The cost of the 5-day workshop “Abstract Acrylic Painting and Collage” (May 19-23) is $550 with a $165 deposit required (refundable up to 30 days before the workshop).  Special payment plans are available for this workshop this year.

The cost of the one-day “Art Marketing Workshop” is $80 (May 24) with a $30 deposit required (refundable up to 30 days before the workshop).

Robert Burridge began his career as an industrial designer and became a full time painter over twenty-two years ago.  He lives and works in his studio in California’s wine country where you can see his paintings on roadside billboards!  His original paintings can be seen in six international galleries, on Starbucks Coffee mugs, Pearl Vodka bottles, eight tapestries and on fine art edition prints in upscale retail stores and cruise ships.

Bob has been selected to jury new emerging painters as well as professional painters into national and international competitions.
His work has received lifetime honors, including The Franklin Mint Award, and recently the Philadelphia Watercolor Society's prestigious Crest Medal Award for achievement in the arts, previously awarded to Pablo Picasso, John Singer Sargent and Georgia O'Keeffe.   He has written and co-published two artist books with his wife, manager and best friend, Kate: Loosen Up Studio Workbook and Art Marketing: The Business of Selling Your Art.  He has produced and starred in five teaching videos and DVDs.. He is also a contributing writer for Art Calendar magazine and has written features for various magazines, periodicals and newsletters

Robert Burridge teaches a variety of painting workshops to professional and emerging painters throughout the United States, Mexico and France. His workshops have historically changed artists' lives forever.

Robert Burridge is an energetic, passionate speaker and motivator for anyone who wants to be a winner.  His engaging style and sense of humor make his workshops a joy.  Using real-life examples and his famous tell-it-like-it-is style, attendees proclaim a renewed vigor and a clearer sense of purpose in their artistic lives.

He receives letters and emails daily from artists who have attended his classes and whose careers have taken off in new and productive directions.

Please mail your deposit to Suzanne Jenne at P.O. Box 557, Larkspur, Co. 80118.  You may also email Suzanne at sjenne@suzannejenne.com, or call (303) 681-0274 for more information about the workshops or lodging.  You are invited to peruse Bob’s website at www.robertburridge.com to get more information about the workshop, his background and his paintings.
