Middle and high school student artists are invited to join us at the museum this Saturday, August 13 at 11am for a special program with guest artist Rafael Lopez @rafaellopezillustration! Whether designing a small postage stamp or a large community mural, the techniques of composition and scale are the same. Rafael Lopez will examine representation, misrepresentation, and lack of representation in postage stamps as well as how he has portrayed communities and cultures in his murals. The artist will work with students on their own work related to the topic. This free program is generously supported by the TurningPoint Foundation. For more information and to register, please visit the link in our bio.
