“From the Page to the Stage” is a dynamic 4-part masterclass exploring storytelling through murals, led by renowned artist Dr. Rob “Problak” Gibbs. This immersive series invites participants to translate their ideas from concept to large-scale visual narratives, guided by hands-on sessions rooted in process, technique, and intention.

Throughout the program, participants will develop their voice, learn how to shape narrative through visual form, and gain practical insight into the creation of public art. The series will culminate in the collective design and production of a mural, offering a real-world opportunity to bring ideas to life at scale.

Whether you’re an emerging artist or looking to expand your practice, this masterclass is designed to support experimentation, build confidence, and deepen your understanding of mural-making as both an art form and a tool for storytelling.
