Highland Park Arts' first community workshop!

What is collage? Collage is a work of visual art made by assembling different pieces, creating a new whole. Collage can be applied to a card, box, board, picture frame, or almost any smooth surface.

Twelve people each created a unique art piece in an afternoon. We had fun, met some neighbors and got to know each other.
(Lots of pictures - please allow time to download)
