To be able to participate fully, you will need:
"The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away." - Pablo Picasso
Reason 1: Back in 2016, when Jed became a full-time artist, he had a difficult time finding great instruction in acrylics that would help him move forward. His experience showed there was a lack of professionals who worked in the medium, and he began to dream of an "acrylic revolution" where the medium became dominant in art, despite its critics. Out of that vision came Acrylic University - a place that could help people from all over the world discover the joys of painting with acrylic paints. This workshop is just part of how we are trying to help artists flourish.
Reason 2: This Workshop & Challenge is one way we show people what Acrylic University is about - who we are, what we do, what we love, etc. We will open enrollment at the end of the Workshop and welcome anyone who decides they would like to take the next step in their art journey with us, however, there is no obligation to do so.
We are your home for growing and flourishing in your art and creativity. Live classes, premium courses, mentoring, and the best art community out there.
