All are welcome to join us at 2 pm on Saturday, June 27, for a talk and workshop with Colin Smith for his current solo exhibition, Fowl Extravagance! 🐦

This afternoon will truly be for all ages and skill levels: Colin often tours schools and animates workshops with early grades, and they discuss and craft all things birds and maps! So come try out Colin's signature style of visual shorthand, and make something fun. 🌼
