The Art of Collage is the latest class offered by the guild. It is taught by artist Simin Grimm.
Instructor Simin Grimm describes collage as the most versatile medium one can use to express creative ideas, whether by employing a two dimensional technique, as in paper and fabrics, or by using a vast array of other objects, both found and man-made. Participants may create a memory board to celebrate one’s life; embellish objects and treasures; create decorative wall hangings; fashion costumes; or use children’s paintings to create a memorable work of art.
Ms. Grimm is a graduate of The Corcoran School of the Arts in Washington, DC and has extensive experience in both teaching and jewelry design. She has exhibited her work widely in Delaware and D.C.
To register for the class or to receive further information, please call Jackie Leavitt at 804-529-6547. Class fee is $120 for all four sessions, although participants may elect to sign up for fewer than four, depending upon the complexity of their project. TAG members will receive a discounted price. Classes will be held at Tappahannock Art Gallery at 200 Prince Street.

Welcome to TAG
Tappahannock Art Guild is your local center for art in the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck. Our vision is to build and educate the community through the arts and culture; to promote artists, their art, and to fulfill cultural opportunities by sharing our common traditions and lifestyles. Our mission is to Create Art for the Community and a Community for Artists.
Local And Regional Art
Whether it’s fine art or crafts, you’ll find a broad selection of artists working in this small community at the “rivah”. The river influences everyone here, and the art reflects a Virginia sensibility and at the same time, the international diversity of our membership. Come see it all in person at the Tappahannock Art Gallery. Artists, collectors, patrons and art lovers of all kinds are welcome to join.
