*Open to the public* Come for the art and stay for the conversation!  Create & Connect Art Socials is a free, low-pressure art evening combining a brief art history lesson with a collaborative, hands-on artmaking activity. Designed to keep things playful, this event facilitates connections through shared creativity, meaning there’s no “right way” to participate. This night’s theme, Surrealist Girl September, will feature a short presentation on Surrealist women artists (accompanied by a collectible zine) and the opportunity to create your own tableau vivant, or “living picture,” inspired by a chosen Surrealist artwork using materials provided by Cedars Union. A final photo will capture the completed reconstructed artwork, and participants will leave with new art history insights, a stronger sense of community, and a fun keepsake from the night. Join the CU with hosts Carina Hernández and Mina Silva for this evening of learning, laughter, and lasting connections!]]>

*Free for CU Members, use code: **CUWorkshopWaiver** \| $65 tickets for public*   Come get your hands dirty at the CU! Join Cohort 2 alum, [Cat Rigdon](https://www.catrigdon.art/) as she guides you through the process of coil-built ceramics inspired by ancient Cypriot artifacts. This workshop will cover the basics of creating a coil-built ceramic vessel with handles. Once your vessel is built, you’ll dive into decorating using sgraffito underglaze techniques, allowing you to personalize your creation.
CU staff will bisque fire your creation which will be ready for pick-up 2 weeks after the workshop. These pieces will not be food safe and are intended to be sculptural.
Cat Rigdon is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Dallas, Texas. She grew up on the island of Cyprus during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Rigdon and her siblings would sneak into ancient archeological sites such as Tomb of the Kings in Paphos and rummage through abandoned monasteries and hotels, sometimes under their parent’s supervision. These strong memories along with the island’s strong folk art, naturalism, and archeological relevance are reflected in Rigdon’s work through her depictions of ancient funerary goods.
Rigdon graduated from Texas State University in 2014 with a Bachelor degree in Studio Art-Painting. After graduation, she moved to Dallas as a Decorative Arts Junior Specialist and Cataloger for Heritage Auctions.  During her tenure with the auction house, Rigdon honed in her understanding of object and material culture. The position allowed Rigdon to handle thousands of objects, pieces of furniture, and a few ancient artifacts.]]>

Using techniques ranging from traditional carpentry to three dimensional fabrications, the works are created to show a visual representation of individual trauma’s experiences as well as the universality of loss. Her works are meant to elicit an empathic response from the audience. There are common traumas and pains that bring humans together as a form of bonding.]]>
