A Sewful Celebration with Stephen Towns
January 17 @ 11:00 am – 3:00 pm
WAM invites you to a Family ArtVenture with a very special guest: Stephen Towns, the artist of “Safer Waters: Picturing Black Recreation at Midcentury”. Inspired by the subject of Towns’ paintings and quilts—a Florida lake resort for Black vacationers in the age of segregation—join us for creativity, community, and learning. While the weather’s chilly and gray, channel sunny summertime days at WAM as you:
◆ Join guest artist Towns for a storytime in the galleries, and ask him about his art
◆ Explore the sights, sounds, and scents of Paradise Park at a sensory and imagination station
◆ Learn to sew by hand, like Towns
◆ Create wearable art
◆ Travel back in time to Paradise Park in the 1950s with swing music and dance
