The Nicholson Project invites you to register for our 2026 Workshop Series. Participants will have the unique opportunity to take part in one-day workshops led by local artists from Nicholson’s artist community working in a variety of artistic backgrounds. The goal of these workshops is the development of creative practices by providing hands-on experience with new mediums. Registration is open to all adults ages 18 and up; no prior artistic knowledge is required.

The Magic of Everyday Life, led by George Kevin Jordan, is an immersive, one-day workshop that invites participants to slow down, reflect, and reimagine the visual and emotional textures of their daily lives. Through guided exercises and hands-on art making, participants will explore how ordinary objects, routines, and personal memories can be transformed into layered, expressive works of art. Rooted in mixed-media practices—including collage, gouache, watercolor, and found materials—this session emphasizes both creative experimentation and personal storytelling.

Cost: $75, or $200 for all three workshops.
Includes all artist materials.

George Kevin Jordan is a multidisciplinary artist, author, illustrator, and maker based in Washington, D.C. Working primarily in acrylic, his practice combines bold, graphic forms with layered narrative. Drawing from the visual language of 1980s and 1990s pop culture—including anime, comics, and music—his work explores identity, memory, and imagination through a contemporary lens.

Jordan was a Digital Fellow at The Nicholson Project in 2024 and, in 2025, a Fellow in Residence. His work centers Black and Black queer figures, creating space for viewers to project their own realities while engaging themes of nature, belonging, and self-definition.
