  • Arts On Main Studio Tour with Theresa Grillo-Laird

    Artist Studio Tour

    Theresa Grillo Laird
    September 26 | Mena, AR
    11:00 am - 2:00 pm

    Theresa is excited to share her studio with you! She is graciously inviting you to an exclusive tour where you can get up close and personal with her creations for an in-depth look at her tools and techniques and a sneak peek of her upcoming exhibition. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with Theresa were she creates.

    Theresa, raised near the Hudson River Palisades in New Jersey, began painting as a child and committed her life to art. A habit of continual study has led her to examine the lives, methods and materials of past masters who inspire her. She has studied under Scott Christensen and attended workshops with David Dibble, Albert Handell, Michelle Held, and Morgan Samuel Price. Having lived from Canada to Florida, she relocated in June 2023 to western Arkansas, where she paints outdoors and in her studio. Learn more about Theresa on her website.

    After the tour, join us for some good conversation over an open menu self pay lunch and mountain views at Queen Wilhelmina Lodge.

    RSVP to help us plan for this event with limited seating. Registrants will receive the location and meet-up details before the event.
