Join artists Nina Petrovich and Erin Gudge as they explore

the world of mixed media collage and art journaling on Saturday, April 27. This session launches

the beginning of the Samaritan ArtsCare Saturday Art Workshop series in Newport.

Cancer patients, survivors and those touched by cancer are invited to attend, with friends and

family members welcome, too. No art experience is required — just a willingness to explore your

creative side and have fun.

The workshop series will be held at the Samaritan Center for Health Education, 740 SW Ninth St.

in Newport, from 10 a.m. to noon on the following Saturdays: April 27, May 25, June 22, July 27

and Aug. 24. The workshops are free, and all required materials and tools are provided.

The April 27 workshop will focus on art journaling with mixed media. Participants will take home

their own journal to continue using for collage, mixed media and sketching. Those who have

collage, scrapbooking or similar supplies at home are welcome to bring them.
