Exploring Grief and Legacy Through Art

Join host Nina Guertin for an interactive art-driven workshop to reflect on grief and legacy. This event will include two parts: we will start with a watercolor activity, and then, as our watercolors dry, we will continue with a legacy tree artistic project in the medium of your choice (markers, colored pencils, and crayons will be provided.)
