Meet Valencia, your workshop presenter!

Valencia, an artist and founder of Plant Matter Art, is deeply inspired by the relationship between God, Black ecology, womanhood, and the natural world. She uses organic and sustainably sourced plant materials to create her art. Working with plant matter and other organic forms, she transforms what has been cast off into works that reflect cycles of creation, loss, regeneration, and spiritual renewal. Through weaving, assemblage, and sculptural installation, she approaches art-making as both an artistic and a devotional act.

It's more than an art class.

As parents, we all want our children to feel confident in who they are, express themselves openly, and build meaningful friendships. "Art As Communication" was created with exactly that in mind.

Through painting, storytelling, mixed media, and collaborative projects, students ages 12–14 will develop confidence, strengthen communication skills, explore their creativity, and learn healthy ways to express their emotions. All while forming positive peer connections in a supportive and encouraging environment.

This free 8-week summer program is a space where young people are not only encouraged to create, but to grow, connect, and discover their voice.

No prior art experience needed! Apply here: https://bit.ly/summerart-vvaa | DC Department of Parks and Recreation

📅 July 5 – August 26
🕚 Sundays & Wednesdays | 11 AM – 2 PM
📍 Vika Gallery
