Freedom to Create: The Artists Who Shaped America

Celebrate the diversity and creativity that have shaped the American art story through an engaging lecture and hands-on art-making session. Registration required.

Celebrate the diversity and creativity that have shaped the American art story. We’ll explore how each artist’s experiences and challenges informed their creative voice—from Georgia O’Keeffe’s meditative connection to the natural world, to Faith Ringgold’s storytelling quilts that wove art and activism together, to Keith Haring’s bold visual language created in service of social change. Together, their work honors the freedom to create and the many voices that form our shared story. Through an engaging lecture and hands-on art-making session, participants will explore the power of self-expression and create original works inspired by the techniques and stories of these groundbreaking artists—celebrating what it means to make art in the spirit of freedom.
