Exploring Lines Drawing
Workshop with Caryl Yasko

Monday, March 30, 5:30 pm-8:30 pm

The Whitewater Arts Alliance warmly invites community members and artists of all experience levels to join Exploring Lines, a drawing workshop led by renowned muralist and educator Caryl Yasko.

The workshop will take place on Monday, March 30, 2026, from 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm at the Cultural Arts Center, 402 W. Main Street in Whitewater. Exploring the power of gestural lines in drawing, this workshop invites artists to loosen up, observe deeply, and express form through movement while creating one shared, collaborative drawing together.

Yasko brings decades of experience to the workshop as a nationally recognized artist, sculptor, muralist and pioneer of community‑based public art. Raised in Racine and shaped by artistic training in both the Midwest and Japan, she developed a distinctive approach rooted in movement, brushwork, and the belief that art should be accessible to everyone.

As one of the founding members of the Chicago Mural Group—now the Chicago Public Art Group—she helped lead a national shift toward collaborative, community‑centered mural making, including her iconic Under City Stone mural in Chicago.

Now living in Whitewater, she continues to mentor artists and share her generous, joyful approach to drawing. With a maximum class size of 15, Yasko will personally engage with artists to open up and freely express form through line.  

The cost is $10, and registration is available in person at the Cultural Arts Center, located on the second floor at 402 W. Main Street in Whitewater during regular gallery hours, which are Thursday through Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
