Art and Identity Workshop

This workshop will delve into the relationship between art and identity. Through engaging activities and discussions, we will explore how art is a powerful metaphor for encapsulating who we are.

Participants will be encouraged to reflect on their narratives, examining core moments, dreams, and memories that have shaped their sense of self.  You will uncover new aspects of your identity by tapping into creativity.  Several mediums, including collaging, building, painting, and illustration will be provided for two and three-dimensional projects. 

Workshop fee includes all materials. 
Carriage Barn Members $130, Non-members $145
