Mitmach-Mittwoch: The thing is…

Whether it’s a grain of sand, an apple, a house, or a planet: what matters is the form in which the world takes shape—and the art, the hope, of being able to capture that form. Together, we’ll explore a wide variety of representations of figurative art. Every Wednesday. Ages 14 and up. Participation free of charge, no registration required
