Join the Friends of the Three Bears at Papa Bear (7175 Main ST Ovid, NY) on August 12th from 6:00 to 9:00pm: Local artist Ben Marlan will lead you through an exploration of identity, expression, and creativity through mixed media self-portraiture. Use paint, collage, and found objects to build layered works that live somewhere between painting and sculpture. All materials provided, though participants are encouraged to bring a mirror for closer self-study. No art experience necessary—just curiosity and a willingness to look inward. Space is limited, email threebearsovid@gmail.com to register. Recommended for adults.

This program was funded with generous support from the Rochester Area Community Foundation.
