Parks as Portals to Joy

Workshop

Join Val T Vint and Leah Houston for a creative exploration of parks as portals to joy. Through story-sharing and art-making we’ll imagine new ways of engaging park users as co-creators seeking joy through community connection, collaboration and celebration. Be ready to experiment with different art modalities – but don’t worry – it’s just for fun – and joy!
