About this Event
We will be hosting an in-gallery journaling experience inspired by one of our newest exhibitions, Cornerstones. Guests can enjoy a guided tour of the exhibitions followed by a journaling workshop led by Ashley Wright, founder of Strokes of Freedom. The workshop, titled “Built From the Ground Up: A Cornerstone Journal”, will prompt guests to choose a piece from the exhibition that resonates with them and then engage in discussion around what it means to be a cornerstone in their own community. Join us for an evening of art, mindfulness, & connection, surrounded by the work of Yoshua Klos.
Journals & supplies will be provided.
