Featured February365! Workshops & Seminars
Brushstrokes in Black History: the Paint & Ponder Events Series
A timely fusion of creative self-expression and interactive, scholarly exploration!
Reminiscent of the widely-popular Paint & Sip concept, these specialty workshops feature original & exclusively-designed, participant-centered instructional agendas that expertly partner fun & fellowship with empowering educational experiences.
Led by creator & fledgling Artist-In-Residence, Terra Little, these workshops provide a safe, inclusive space where participants feel validated, supported, and celebrated. As participants are guided through the completion of their very own thematic painting, they experience a unique, interactive journey to a featured destination in Black History - a place where personal discovery, purposeful action-ables & memorable dialogue await!
Meant to enhance, infuse, and support classroom/program instructional curriculums, these specialty workshops offer the kinds of "break from the norm" educational experiences that spark, inspire & motivate participants of all ages! If ever there was a way to offer your group an entertaining in-house "field-trip" experience that includes authentic & culturally-relevant educational benefits, a February365! "BRUSHSTROKES IN BLACK HISTORY: Paint & Ponder Event" is it!
~FEATURED 'PAINT & PONDER' EVENTS~
(2022-2023 Academic Year)
The Harlem Renaissance
A lively, in-depth exploration of that glorious time in history known as the Harlem Renaissance! The words...the music...the people...the art...the sights...and the sounds of that magical time and place all come alive during this workshop. (Best for ages 13+ or Gr 7-10)
Then Comes Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa is a week-long celebration that's held every year in the United States between Dec. 26th - Jan. 1st. This [secular] holiday honors the presence of African heritage in African-American culture. Rather than exist to supplant existing holidays, Kwanzaa and its 7 guiding principles - unity, self-determination, collective work & responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith (all of which are richly explored, collectively contemplated, and creatively applied during this vibrant workshop!) exists to teach/remind us and to renew our dedication to applying these principles today & every day! *Bonus Juneteenth Content!*. (Best for ages 13+ or Gr 7-10; Adults)
*Note: food/beverages provided by/at the discretion of the sponsoring venue.*
