Event Description

Art is a powerful tool for expressing one’s identity and reclaiming one’s history. Join Museum educators in the Carter’s special exhibitions Speaking with Light: Contemporary Indigenous Photography and Faces from the Interior: The North American Portraits of Karl Bodmer. Participants will explore art techniques while working collaboratively on an artwork that reflects their own stories. This event is designed for students ages 5 to 17. Participants are asked to stay in family groups with their adult caregivers for this program.

American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation may be provided during this event upon advance request.
