Guerrilla Art Middle School/High School TBA

Guerrilla art is “a fun way of sharing your vision with the world. It is a method of art making which entails leaving anonymous art pieces in public places. It can be done for a variety of reasons: to make a statement; to share your ideas; to send out good karma; or just for fun.” Join this workshop and we’ll plan and scheme together!
