Exhibition Programs

With artist Lalaine Garcia. We all have a story to tell, as witness to or participant in events both private and shared. These moments are captured by the artists of the exhibition American Perspectives: Highlights from the American Folk Art Museum. Capture your moment in a print of your own design. Sketch and then carve into a block an image of your American experience. Ink your carved block and reproduce your image singularly or in a pattern to share with the world. Registration Required. Materials are included.
