Great upcoming event!

Join exhibiting artist AnaYelsi Velasco Sanchez for an interactive workshop exploring justice, memory, healing, and collective possibility through art. Participants will begin with a guided justice timeline examining histories of injustice, resistance, and survival in the United States before creating a stained-glass-inspired "window of liberation" that reflects stories of struggle, healing, and hope. No artistic experience is necessary. This workshop is part of the Festival Center's Justice, Art & Movement (JAM) series, which brings artists and community members together to explore the relationship between creativity, justice, and social transformation.

Thursday, July 16 | 6:00–8:00 PM
