Art in the Garden

Join us for a free workshop in photo printing and collage. Together, we’ll look at the history of garden archives and June Jordan in Harlem.

This event is part of Art in the Garden. Critically and creatively engage with a diversity of artmaking techniques that open you up to deeper dialogue on place and your lived environments.

Not a scent-free space (essential oils used in class), though we ventilate and welcome masking/distancing.
