Join us as we walk alongside The Great Wall of Los Ángeles, the longest running mural in the world that depicts the core history of California that is more than often left unspoken about. The start of the mural and meet up is nearing Coldwater Cyn/ Burbank, meet up is at 5:00. We will end with a potluck style picnic at the end of the walk. Join us! Bring friends, family, and dogs. Also special guest professor David Chávez will be co-leading.

Workshop: Found Footage Fiesta!

Workshop: Non-Binary Paper Dolls Explore-a-thon
Sunday, September 15
1 – 4 pm
Dressing to reflect or disguise identity can be a provocation, a bore, an exhibition of fashion’s artistry, a work-functional necessity, a luxury, a burden. Anyone near a thrift store, a donation box, a credit card, a friend who loves to share their attire, can look wealthy-scruffy, poor yet incredibly elegant, overtly sexual or utterly asexual, simple or showy, human or alien. Image-making and ID deconstruction by way of clothing ourselves is a joy, a puzzle, a survival skill. We may harbour more old-fashioned notions in our fashion choices than we realize as we unconsciously or very consciously dress as we do for ourselves, our jobs and our world.  Come draw, discuss, create with us at The Non-Binary Paper Doll Explore-a-thon! No artistic skills required. Free event! Everyone welcome!

We’ve got lots of fun free and affordable offerings to choose from for students of all ages! Sign up today!
