Event Details

Andres Amador

Come create monumental art together. These gatherings are excellent for families and friends- and would make an amazing date!

This is a drop-in style event with basically no teaching, just playing. A great way to dip your toes into the world of creativity at the beach.

This is an opportunity to join artist Andres Amador in creating a massive geometric community art piece in the sands of Ocean Beach, and then watch the piece get washed away by the tide.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
