Robbie Kienzle Artist Workshop Series
The Robbie Kienzle Artist Workshop Series was created by the Paseo Arts Association to provide FREE artist education on topics for professional development. The Paseo Arts Association began this workshop series in 2022 and has since named it after the late Robbie Kienzle, to honor her life and passion for artistic empowerment in Oklahoma. Kienzle advocated for artists across the state through community and educational efforts, and for public art in Oklahoma City during her time as a consultant, city planner, and Arts Liaison with the City of OKC.
The goal with this workshop series and online resource is to provide a no-boundary education that helps Oklahoma artists at all levels of their career. This page is dedicated to our workshop Resources and Recordings, to provide artists who are not able to attend, access to online learning.
