Big Sky Workshop is an art education platform working locally in New York City and everywhere online. Founded by Kerry da Silva Cox in 2020, Big Sky offers courses, one on one sessions, and online resources for artists. Courses + workshops are taught by Kerry unless noted - special guest artists and teachers have popped up from time to time. We also offer free summer programming in the Queensbridge Houses in Northwestern Queens.

Our programs aim to foster a connection between mindfulness and creativity and to assist with nurturing creative practices at any level in sustainable ways. In cultivating creativity, we focus on the big picture, connecting personal well-being, art historical and contemporary practices, and the natural world.
