About this event

  • 3 hours 30 minutes

Artist Jieun Beth presents a final art installation of a community art project as part of the Austin Central Library’s annual event, Kids Block Party.

“Community” is a collection of artworks created by individuals from different communities. The artist, Jieun Beth, invited them to participate in her art activity, Stamping Portrait, resulting in hundreds of pieces that will be displayed as prayer flags at the Austin Central Library’s youth balcony. The project follows the Tibetan Buddhists’ tradition of sending out prayers in the wind and aims to spread well-wishing sentiments to everyone while highlighting global issues.

Join us for a vibrant and engaging art installation of our community and the opportunity to participate in the stamping art activity! This in-person event will be held at the Austin Central Library's Youth Balcony located at 710 W Cesar Chavez St.

The exhibition runs from June 1 ~ July 1, 2024

Free to the public
