★ SUMMER-ART-INSTITUTE INSTRUCTOR HIGHLIGHT ★ ★ SUMMER-ART-INSTITUTE INSTRUCTOR HIGHLIGHT ★ Symone Salib @symonesalibstudio will join us for two weeks of public art fun this summer! Join her to explore the power of public art! Check out her workshops “How to Create a Large Scale Mural” and “Street Art as Protest: How To Make Wheat Paste Posters.” Link in bio.

Symone Salib is a first-generation Cuban/Egyptian muralist, illustrator, and educator whose art centers on the storytelling of community members through large-scale public installations. Strongly rooted in portraiture, her work envisions a world of radical possibilities where equality and justice are at the center. By focusing on the voices and faces of marginalized communities, Symone uses her art to uplift and amplify those who are often overlooked. Her community-based practice reflects her belief that art should be accessible to all. By creating work in public spaces, she ensures that everyone, regardless of background, can engage with and experience art. She believes public art is not just about beautifying a space; it’s about providing visibility and recognition to the people who make up the fabric of the community.

SAI at Women’s Studio Workshop is a time to focus on your work, become energized and inspired, learn new skills, and meet a new community of like-minded artists! SAI workshops are open to all and follow a sliding-scale tuition model. Learn more on our website, wsworkshop.org.

Images: examples of Symone’s wheat paste posters and murals, including one she completed at WSW (last slide).
