Talks are a great opportunity to learn something new and share information with our interested member body, with the goal of improving our individual art practices.
Check out our upcoming talks.

Our 5-week studio sessions run year-round, back-to-back. Those in the know make sure they sign up for a class to get lots of personal attention from our award-winning professional artist instructors.

In 2025 we are launching our sessions with more time to sign up, but don’t delay, spots are still limited by our space. Winter 2 session is live on our site and you can sign up now to make sure you get your spot.

In the digital age the QR code has become a staple of everyday life; in restaurants, bars, museums, classrooms, your doctor’s office, and on the street. We have certainly put them to use at OPAL to link you to our website. There is an element of mystery about the QR code, on its face, each looks nearly identical to the last, while its content on the inside changes dramatically with each one. It is a portal from in-person to digital realms.

Julie Sulzen has been teaching at OPAL as our resident oil painting instructor for the past 3 years.
We are very fortunate to have Julie teaching with us and creating a community of oil painters along the way.
