Doors open at 1:45PM. This program is offered in partnership with the Heart of America Chapter of The Alzheimer’s Association.
Time: 2:00PM-3:00PM
Cost: Free
October 27 Program
On October 27th, explore “Magnifying Creativity” with featured Native Arts in Miniature exhibition artist Lisa LaRue-Baker (Cherokee). Sometimes we need to magnify text to read it. And sometimes we need to magnify something to create it! After looking at and discussing some of the tiniest baskets in Native Arts in Miniature, participants will create a large basket, together.
