America is turning 250! In this 2-hour, drop-in art workshop, participants of all ages are invited to create a mixed-media artwork inspired by the symbolism of the American flag. Using guided prompts, artists will choose stars, stripes, colors, and textures that represent their own identity, experiences, and connections—transforming a familiar symbol into a personal story. This workshop celebrates the many voices that come together to form a more perfect union. Artwork created may be developed further and submitted for inclusion in A More Perfect Union: A Community Exhibition Commemorating America 250. All materials provided.
Ages 5+ and their grownups.
