How can I participate in the events & workshops?

Check the Events & Workshops page for current information. All events are virtual and take place on Zoom. Some events may be streamed on alternative platforms.

Will the events be recorded?

All of the virtual events will be recorded and made available online 1-2 weeks after the event.

How do I get an art kit?

Art kits are available for the General Public to participate in Workshop #1. Register through EventBrite for pick-up dates & times, and the event Zoom link. We are unable to mail the supplies, so you must be able to pick-up the art kit from Northside Branch Library.

*Limited supplies available. Registration through EventBrite does not guarantee an art kit.

Can I participate using my own materials?

Yes! We invite all members of the community to participate in the first workshop to share food stories and make a Styrofoam print with us. If you are already knowledgeable with printmaking, you can use your own materials to create a 4 x 6" print.

Where can I purchase the supplies in the art kit?

All the art kit materials can be found online or at local art stores.
