Afterschool Mosaic & Art Workshop
Two of GIRL Project's all-time favorite mentors Susanne Takehara and Angie Lopez have agreed to teach art workshops with us after school this fall and we are ultra excited to invite GP youth to learn from them!
Mosaic Workshop with Susanne Takehara
Art Sessions with Angie Lopez
on Wednesdays from Sep 18 – Oct 30, 2024
Susanne is one of the founding members of EastSide Arts Alliance and in her own words "uses the medium of mosaic murals to reflect and celebrate the diverse cultures of our neighborhoods with beauty and depth, honoring our ancestors and imagining the future we can build together."
Angie is a graphic artist and mentor who inspires GP greatly with her skills and deep-rooted commitment to nurturing her communities through art.
During four consecutive Wednesdays, we will meet first with Susanne in her studio and work together to design and create a mosaic piece! Then with Angie for the following three consecutive weeks to create works of art that will become part of EastSide's annual Día De Los Muertos celebration.
We will make art and friends, snack , and be curious about our creativity and power. We gather in care and invite all female-identifying and gender-expansive youth ages 10-14 to learn from these special artists. We look forward to creating with y'all this fall!
