Program Description

Event Description

Join us for a hands-on art experience where kids will explore the bold and expressive artwork of Edgar Heap of Birds! Using gelli plates, we’ll create colorful, layered prints with words and symbols that tell our own stories—just like Heap of Birds does in his powerful public art.

Kids will experiment with texture, color, and text while learning about the importance of art as a form of storytelling and cultural expression. No art experience needed—just bring your creativity!
