Our Places, Our Voices: Collage Making
10 am – 1 pm
Tiffany Commons

“Our Places, Our Voices” is a hands-on, all-ages collage workshop that draws inspiration from Evergreen Brick Works’ dedication to transforming public spaces and championing sustainable practices. Led by artist and curator Kalina Nedelcheva as part of the Community Spotlight Series, “Our Places, Our Voices” invites visitors to create impactful collages on a drop-in basis. Participants will use pre-cut magazines, recycled materials, and markers to create vibrant collage posters that celebrate nature and the public spaces we share while also reflecting on the importance of building resilient communities in the face of climate change and aggressive urban development.
