Wednesday, June 18th: 5-8pm

Located at Hope Station, 149 W Penn St. in Carlisle

Hope Station and Carlisle Arts Learning Center invite community members to join artist and activist Keziah Landis for a free creative workshop. Attendees will be invited to participate in a brief conversation about the Black identity through portraits and caricatures (from Jim Crow through the modern day). Afterward, attendees will have the opportunity to paint self portraits with a variety of colors, avoiding pre-mixed natural skin tone colors. Your RSVP includes a light meal, and registration is required.

This workshop is made possible through support from The Partnership for Better Health and the Borough of Carlisle, as part of CALC's 2025 series of Creative Community Listening Sessions.
