The Upstairs Artspace invites photography enthusiasts to participate in a workshop – Saturday Dec. 8 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. – on how to make art with nothing more than a smartphone and a few apps.

Participants are urged to use their new skills to submit images to the gallery’s next show, “Upload,” which opens in mid-January and will be the first major exhibit in the South exclusively featuring work made with iPhones and other smartphones.

Melissa Parrish Pittman, a mixed-media artist and new member of the Upstairs board of directors, will lead the class.
