Contemporary Kids: Appreciation of Home and Land
April 20 + 27
1-2:30 PM or 3-4:30 PM
Workshop
Join us for a sign-making workshop inspired by Wish you were here by Lauren Crazybull! Through hands-on activities, kids will bring their experiences and connection to the land to life by creating their own personal signs, reflecting their love for the earth while exploring Crazybull’s journey and her bond with her ancestral home.
Our free onsite Contemporary Kids programs invite children to learn about modern and contemporary art through unique and engaging art activities.
For children ages 5-12. Maximum group of 20 children, with one guardian per child. Questions? Please visit our FAQ page.
