Event Schedule

In celebration of This Land is Your Land: Stewarding the Earth Through A Changing Climate, we invite you and your family to join us for FREE art activities inspired by the exhibition. 

Botanical Drawing with JJ Jorgenson: Join artist JJ Jorgenson for a drop in botanical art-making workshop. You will capture the essence of the natural world through drawing and painting from still life vignettes created from harvested seeds, found botanical objects and local flowers and veggies, in support of our climate. 

Mending Our Spirits with A. Laura Brody: Let's mend the world instead of trashing it. Visible mending makes repair fun, meditative, and beautiful. We'll use techniques inspired by classic Japanese Boro and Sashiko hand sewing and turn your worn out clothing into wearable art. This is a great way to keep old clothes out of the landfill and learn a new skill in good company.
