SUMMARY:From Mud a Garden Grows:  Painting Emotional Connections with Nature
DESCRIPTION:Join studio artist Leslie Pruneau for a painting workshop that explores both the external and internal landscapes that connect us.\n\n\nFrom the Mud Grows a Garden: Painting Emotional Connections with Nature \nFocus: Painting: Nature Scenes | Instructor: Leslie Pruneau \nIt is a wonder to see vibrant life emerge from a muddy plot of soil! And similarly\, in painting\, we can quickly transform a muddy palette and underpainting into colorful canvases filled with emotion and enough visual information to spark change in the viewer’s experience. Join oil painter Leslie Pruneau at Artspace for this immersive half-day painting workshop where we will explore both the external and our own internal landscapes. \nThrough quick warm-up exercises and live demonstrations\, participants will work independently\, receiving personalized one-on-one critiques with a focus on application processes and the powerful use of colors to reveal their own creative connections with the natural world. Feel free to bring in your own image(s) for your painting reference… a favorite tree\, creek\, flower\, or hiking trail scene would work well. There will also be a simple still-life of flowers set up as an on-site botanical reference to work from as well. \nThis is an intermediate-level painting workshop. Instructor’s demos will be performed in oil\, but the class is open to different mediums (acrylics\, watercolors\, pastels are all welcome). Students should be familiar with their painting medium\, and should bring their own materials; Artspace will supply easels and can help supplement some materials as needed. \n \nAbout Artspace // \nArtspace is a non-profit visual arts center located in Downtown Raleigh.

SUMMARY:My Fair Lady
DESCRIPTION:My Fair Lady is a timeless musical that delves into the transformative power of language\, identity\, and social class in early 20th-century London. At the heart of the story is Eliza Doolittle\, a spirited flower seller with a thick Cockney accent\, who encounters the esteemed phonetics professor Henry Higgins. Fascinated by her unrefined speech and bold personality\, Higgins makes a bold wager: he will teach Eliza to speak and behave like a proper lady of high society. \nAs Eliza embarks on this challenging journey\, the musical traces their evolving relationship through lessons in speech\, manners\, and self-discovery. Though they come from vastly different worlds\, Higgins and Eliza form an unexpected bond that both challenges and changes them in profound ways.\n—\nBurning Coal Theatre Company is proud to announce its production of My Fair Lady\, directed by Jerome Davis. My Fair Lady will run from April 9th to 26th\, 2026\, at the Murphey School\, located at 224 Polk Street\, Raleigh\, NC 27604.
