Workshop with the artist
“One of the joys of being an artist is having the possibility of conveying the visual language to others through fun education. I love working with children and adults, leading activities that open new experiences with color, shape, lines, trajectories, with different materials.”
In January 2020, Patricia Van Dalen shared with a group of children who worked inspired by her piece “Estaciones/Stations” at the Gables Coral Museum. The mixed-media work was part of the “For Now: Venezuelan Contemporary Art of the Miami Diaspora” exhibition at the museum.

Neushop | Working Color: An Interactive Workshop with Patricia Van Dalen
Join us on Saturday, March 4th, 2017, to collaborate with visual artist Patricia Van Dalen, who will be performing an exercise related to color behavior based on Neushop’s Oxides Tops Collection. Van Dalen’s recent work has been exploring means of production in art that are in a delicate balance between craft and mechanization. Simultaneous to the workshop, Van Dalen will exhibit a series of small stapled works that represent her research on fragmentation and restructuring, and its effects on form, line, space, and color.
