Nature art workshop for kids 2018
On August 25 2018, we held an art workshop with a nature theme for children at our offices in Indianapolis. Five artists - Monica Cannaley, Brishen Vanderkolk, Lylanne Musselman, Catherine Cunningham, and Rochelle Cohen - who featured in our Environmental Justice in Indiana exhibition came to chat about their work and help children attending with their art. We hope to hold more events like this for children in the future. Here are some of their creations!
