Due to the weather, these two workshops on Saturday, September 7 and Sunday, September 8, 2024 took place in a Halstead Street studio near the MAXWELL STREET COMMUNITY GARDEN.
On Saturday, Carol Carter led participants in painting a honeybee on a flower, inspired by the flora found in the Maxwell Street Community Garden.
On Sunday, Anne Farley Gaines shared her expertise in using mixed-media materials to capture the essence of this urban oasis.
All joined in the discussion on the essential role of preserving pollinators in our global ecosystems and agriculture.
