Thank Luzia Ornelas for taking these beautiful photos @peoplesbuilding during our human tapestry printmaking activity for @davarts print crawl in April. I am always so impressed with everyone's enthusiasm and creativity when I share my printmaking without a press process. Thank you @auroraculturalartsdistrict , Aaron Vega, @radiusstudios and everyone who helped volunteer and assist people as they created their artwork. @akuainks

Family Arts and all after school programs are canceled for today. Enjoy your time at home! Challenge: make some art today! Draw, take cool photos in the snow, build with cardboard, give something in your house a new purpose, sew, knit or crochet...just put down the phone for bit and use your imagination!

Print Crawl 2026
Saturday, April 25 · 12–4 PM Link in Bio Join us in the Aurora Cultural Arts District for a day of DIY printmaking across multiple venues. Start at The People’s Building, grab your $25 passport, and explore a range of hands-on techniques—from screen printing to collagraph and more. I’ll be at The People’s Building leading Human Tapestry, a free, drop-in printmaking experience. Create a simple human figure using gel plates and nontoxic inks, then add it to a growing shared artwork made by many hands. Come for a few minutes or stay awhile—no experience needed. Free to start at the People’s Building. Kids, families, and curious humans welcome.
