CB to You Mobile Art Lab: Día de Muertos
Join us on November 4 at the Day of the Dead Festival as we join the community festivities celebrating Día de Muertos! The celebration is hosted by the Latin Arts Organization of Arkansas (LAOA) and will be held in downtown Springdale, Arkansas, in Shiloh Square.
The CB to You Mobile Art Lab will be hosting a drop-in sugar skull mask-making activity, giving out free screen-printed tote bags, and handing out free art kits with tickets to our latest exhibition, Annie Leibovitz at Work.
We’ll also be hosting an interactive photography experience led by photographer Brandon Watts. Come immerse yourself in a three-tent journey inspired by Annie Leibovitz at Work that explores essential photography concepts. From mastering the Rule of Thirds by creating your own composition finder to seeing the significance of lighting by having your photo taken by Brandon himself, this engaging experience promises to enhance your photography skills and knowledge.
See you there!
Free, no tickets required. Drop by anytime from 12 to 5 p.m.
