Fall Gallery Walk – Meet the Artist: Print, Create & Connect with Kwaku Ofori-Yirenkyi
Fall Gallery Walk – Meet the Artist: Print, Create & Connect with Kwaku Ofori-Yirenkyi
Celebrate the historic Fall Gallery Walk with Print, Create & Connect — a free, hands-on mixed-media printmaking experience for all ages!
Inspired by “3rd Culture: Unseen Threads” and the ways identity, memory, and personal history shape the stories passed down through generations, this drop-in activity invites visitors to become part of the creative process.
Choose to transform an existing black-and-white linocut with colorful markers, oil pastels, patterned paper, and Ankara fabric, or build a background of your own using colors, patterns, drawings, and meaningful words before adding a linocut print.
No experience necessary! Just bring your imagination and a willingness to experiment. All materials are provided, and each participant will leave with a one-of-a-kind creation.
