Drop in for this art-making workshop to explore what “home” means to you, led by artist-in-residence, gino romero. Using house templates and various media, participants of all ages will be invited to recreate and reimagine the places they hold most dear. After decorating their templates, participants will be guided through an assembly process to turn their two-dimensional house into a three-dimensional structure–a personalized version of romero’s i built a home just for us–to then take home.
