Join us on Thursday, March 26 in the Gordon Art Gallery lobby at 12:30 p.m. to help create a print run of collective relief posters! Posters will be created in honor of the artwork and legacy of Samuel Kahn and Norfolk’s ecosystem. Each attendee will be able to stamp a small carving block designed with either a local building, flora, or fauna creating a patchwork ecological map of Norfolk with other attendees. We will be using plant-based ink pigments, recycled paper, and tools. All tools and supplies provided and no prior printmaking experience required. Attendees 12+ may participate in carving and everyone is welcome to stamp on the posters. Free to participate. Pay-What-You-Can to keep carved blocks and completed posters. @odu_humanities @norfolk_arts @visitnorfolkva @cityofnorfolkva @virginianpilot @veermagazine @nfk.va @oduartsletters @olddominionu @odu_set @odustudentlife @oduartdept @odu.sal @studioshft
