Make It! Wear It! Parade It!

Join PrintAustin and Mexic-Arte Museum for a free, hands-on mask-making workshop with nationally recognized artist Dennis McNett (Wolfbat). Known for his bold relief prints, intricately carved imagery, masks, puppets, and larger-than-life creatures, McNett transforms printmaking into immersive, communal experiences. Note: we have evening pop in opportunities Wed-Fri at another location should you need more time on your mask. Space is limited. Please keep in mind that a mask may take 8-12 hours to create. Oct 18. 12pm-5pm Oct 19 and 20, 10am-6pm (drop-in available) Oct 24, 12pm parade starts You don't need to commit to all of the workshop time, but you must commit to being part of the parade. During this special workshop, participants will work with Dennis to create wearable masks inspired by his distinctive prints and the spirit of celebration and collaboration. No previous printmaking or art experience is necessary - just come ready to make! But the workshop is only the beginning. Participants are to wear their creations and join PrintAustin, McNett, and the community in Mexic-Arte Museum’s Viva La Vida Parade, transforming the artwork from something made in the studio into part of a vibrant public procession.
