Contemporary Kids: Exploring Native Plants
Presentation & Workshop with Star Crop Eared Wolf

Join us for a presentation and native plants workshop with Niitsiitapi multidisciplinary artist and member of the Kainai Nation, Star Crop Eared Wolf. The workshop includes a tour of Star’s exhibition Niitoyis, the culmination of a year-long research as Ksahkomiitapiiks resident artist from 2022-23, an annual residency featuring dynamic public programs and responsive artworks that interrogate and nurture our relationships with the land. Drawing from her current research, Star will share insights from her native plant collection and captivating stories while providing guidance to enhance participants' understanding of native plants.

Our free onsite Contemporary Kids programs invite children to learn about modern and contemporary art through unique and engaging art activities. 

For children ages 5-12. Maximum group of 30 children, with one guardian per child.

 

The same workshop is offered in two sessions for your convenience on April 28th. Choose only one session that suits your schedule best.
