🎨 Uniting Forms Family Sunday Workshop @ MacLaren Art Centre
In acknowledgement of Black History Month, local artist Sheresha Mcintyre will lead a special Family Sunday workshop inspired by the stunning sculpture United We Stand by Charles McGee. By creating together, participants will reflect on the interconnectedness of shared histories and the resilience of the Black community. Guided by Mcintyre, families will create their own sculptures that symbolize unity and strength—not just within the black community—but for all people!
