Meso-American Print Arts Workshop with Calixto Robles

Date: Saturday, September 20, 2025
Time: 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Presenter: Calixto Robles
Location: 2nd Floor Program Room

Seats and materials are limited. This class is intended for adults, ages 18 and up only.

Join us for a print making workshop with local artist Calixto Robles. Design your own print art with pre-prepared screens, drawing inspiration from Mesoamerican and First Nations cultures. Paper will be provided. You can also bring your own tote bag or t-shirt to get printed (limit 1 per person). 

Calixto Robles is a painter, printmaker and sculptor from Oaxaca, Mexico. Inspired by the myths, symbols, colors and ancient traditions of Meso-America, he mixes the silkscreen techniques, which enhance texture and brilliant color, with drawn and found images. Robles’ paintings explore magical realms while his ceramics allow him to reconnect with earthly materials.

Free tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis 30 minutes before the program. Please come to the Second Floor Program Room to pick up your tickets starting at 1:30 p.m. 

Note: To manage the cost of supplies, we will be implementing a ticketing system on a trial basis instead of pre-registration. This system will prioritize access for customers who are present in the building, helping to ensure that every seat is filled and to minimize no-shows from the registration list.
