\nAT KOLAJ FEST NEW ORLEANS<\/p>\n

A Collage 101 with Kevin Sampsell<\/h2>\n

From 2014 to 2018, writer and collagist Kevin Sampsell hosted Open Collage Night at Portland, Oregon’s Independent Publishing Resource Center. Held the second Wednesday of the month, experienced collagists mingled with those just learning more about collage. The event was a low-key, high-fun collage experience that reflected the open, friendly, community spirit of collagists. Sampsell will be bringing that energy to Kolaj Fest New Orleans as the Collage Space Director for the festival.<\/p>\n

Collage making will take place 11AM to 5PM on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of Kolaj Fest New Orleans at Artisan Bar & Cafe. In addition to free time to make collage, the space will host artists leading demonstrations and workshops. The space has scissors, X-acto knives, glue, and a collection of papers and materials. Our collage making space is hosted by Kevin Sampsell with support from Jay Berrones.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kolaj Fest New Orleans<\/a> is a multi-day festival and symposium about contemporary collage and its role in art, culture, and society, July 12-15, 2018. Visit the website<\/a> to learn more, see an overview of the program, and register to attend.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nWorking with a wide range of source materials, Sampsell’s collages swim in the pool of pop culture. At times they can be silly; at other times they can be astute studies of composition and color. “I\u2019d been doing word collages for a long time, but then started, in 2014, using manipulated-by-hand images (from old magazines and books) and became much more serious and passionate about it,” said Sampsell.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nAt Kolaj Fest New Orleans Collage Making Space, Sampsell will share some of his collage work and offer some tips and tricks for making collage that he has come across on his journey through the medium. If you’re new or curious about collage, this is a great place to start.<\/p>\n
