Let's create something beautiful together in the AVAM classroom! Join us for artmaking and poetry, great for all ages. Free with museum admission. Contact Beka Plum for scholarship opportunities beka@avam.org.
ART! Make and take a keychain souvenir! Join artist Bonnie Crawford as we create a tiny sculpture inside a photo viewfinder. See the tiny world you create magically magnified through the lens!
POETRY! Poetry is a living matter! Discover a poem in this found poetry workshop. Take it home and before you leave, contribute your own lines to an impromptu poem with the other attendees and community members.

Bonnie Crawford makes sculptures, drawings, photographs, and performances while contemplating how intimacy, risk, and harm inform habits of care. She is interested in how caretaking happens relative to capitalism's devaluation of reproductive labor.
She began working this way when she became a divorced mother of two and in turn, became dependent on queer family structures for support.
