Event Description

About the Event

Firsthand Experiences bring contemporary artists together with learners ages 13 and older for hands-on programs that combine creativity, gallery conversations, and discovery.

Inspired by works of art in the exhibition Uncanny, Queen of Hoops Erin Jeannier will teach participants various spins and movements with a hula hoop. After time to practice, everyone will learn how to make their own hoop!

Erin Jeannier, “Queen of Hoops,” is a variety circus performer who specializes in hula hoop artistry. Based in Baltimore, she entertains audiences locally and across the country, wowing people of all ages with her hoop skills. As a devoted performer and artist, Jeannier is passionate about sharing her craft with others. The workshop is geared toward beginners; no experience necessary! Join Jeannier and NMWA to learn, create, and play through movement.
