Event Description

About the Event

Firsthand Experiences bring contemporary creators together with learners ages 13 and older for hands-on programs that combine creative arts, conversations, and discovery.

Explore a range of humble fibers and transform them into art. Be inspired by the inventive ways artists incorporate fiber into their work in the exhibition Making Their Mark: Works from the Shah Garg Collection. All materials will be provided; no experience necessary.
