Identity, History, & Collage

Join artist-in-residence, Paula Mans, in this collage workshop that goes much deeper than cutting and gluing paper! Paula will share her series Cotton Flower and discuss the way we can explore identity and history through combining elements to tell a deeper story. You'll leave with a new appreciation of history and the art of collage.

Thank you to the Marion Park Lewis Foundation for the Arts for sponsoring this season's events!
