Creative Workshop: Pressed for Creativity

To celebrate our ongoing partnership with Nest Global, this workshop marks the beginning of our new partnership with Homeboy Art Academy, bringing together the three organizations through a shared commitment to accessible arts education and community impact.

Join us for this hands-on printmaking workshop and create your own custom bandana using pre-carved lino block stamps based on original designs by Homeboy Art Academy students.

This a free, drop-in event; while supplies last so please come early to participate. Registration helps us gather all the supplies and materials needed.

We advise all participants to wear old clothes. All ages welcome. Younger children are welcome if supervised by adults.

After the workshop, stay for KCRW’s Summer Nights with DJs spinning from 6 – 10 pm in the courtyard. Learn more.

The organization offers innovative education to children who live in refugee camps, migrant shelters, or in abject poverty through the creation of ‘Nests,’ or early learning spaces.
