First Friday Optical Illusion Art

Creative Greensboro will welcome visual artist Victoria Mercado-Lues to the Greensboro Residency for Original Works, Aug. 25 through Oct. 2. Throughout her six-week residency, Mercado-Lues will create new work inspired by her coming-of-age experience as a young Mexican-American woman, using cardboard, papier-mache, crochet, fabric, and oil painting.

Drop by the GROW studio during First Friday to make colored pencil optical illusion drawings. Friday, Sept. 4, 6-9 p.m.
