Events › Mixed Media Altars

Somos Arte educators present a hands on art workshop, related to themes of this season's One Book, One Chicago selection. 

Craft a deeply personal altar using cigar boxes, fabric, photos, and miniature objects that celebrate ancestry, cultural identity, or family memory. Inspired by spiritual themes in Olga Dies Dreaming, this workshop invites reflection, storytelling, and sacred creativity.

Space is limited - registration is required for art workshops.
