Before My Time: A Visual Storytelling Workshop

​Transform Your Family Stories Into Art

​What stories live in your family's past that you've never fully known? What moments happened "before your time" that shaped who you are today?

​Join us for an intimate, hands-on workshop where you'll give visual form to the untold narratives that have shaped your family's legacy. Through photography, painting, collage, and drawing, you'll create a dynamic work of art that honors memory, heritage, and identity.

​All art supplies included. Lunch is included. No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity and an open heart.
