I am so very excited to introduce our August host, Mario Zoots! Join @zoots this August for a virtual artist talk here at Wilder Collage.

Mario will be presenting on his journey with collage, give some behind the scenes on projects and what’s behind the work he creates. There will be time for Q&A so bring a question and join us. It’s going to be great!

⏰: Wednesday August 16th, 1pm EST / 10am PST
