Due to the popularity of our first Tableau Vivant, we are staging several others throughout the summer. A Tableau Vivant is a set/scene with a model in costume along with props and accessories to create a mood or ambience. Some of the Tableaus will be indoors (Little Rock and Hot Springs) and others will be outdoors. Most will be thematic, whimsical, exotic, or cultural; merging several different genres, eras, cultures, concepts, and philosophies. With beautiful models, lavish costumes, and settings, these Tableaus will be an artistic scene to sketch, paint, or photograph. We hope you will join us. If you have attended a prior Pepper and Company Workshop, Class, Event, you are eligible for $10 off the Tableau II fee. Add Comment (0)
