Please join artist James “Yaya” Hough for an art-making workshop and conversation about the ways that public art can share stories of the past, present, and future of our neighborhoods. This participatory workshop will contribute to Hough’s creation of a new mural on Centre Avenue commissioned for the 58th Carnegie International.
The workshop will meet in the Ford Mateer Classroom, which is just inside the museum’s Portal Entry at the rear of the building. No registration is required and all are encouraged to participate.
