LUAG Community Workshop: Pop-Art Card Workshop with Artist, Kayla Gibbons

Inspired by the work of artists and educators Sister Corita Kent and Keith Haring, join us to create brightly colored text-based posters that address concerns around social justice, and current issues, or to convey a message of love and peace. The printmaking technique of collagraphy will be used to produce multiples, and individual cards or posters can be embellished with collage elements and mixed media. Design, print, and produce a small run of cards or posters to distribute or to keep!

This exhibition is offered in conjunction with LUAG's current exhibition Change Makers!, a multisite exhibition, drawn from LUAG’s extensive art collection, that highlights the many forms of change-making. Explore artworks in a range of media that reveal change makers at work — activists, organizers, and of course, artists. Be sure to watch the interviews below with local change makers in the Lehigh Valley, gathered by Lehigh University students, that reveal insights, strategies, and ambitions for positive change in our own community.

Limited to 20 participants. Please register in advance to help us plan for your visit and ensure we have enough materials for everyone!
