Join us for a Family Day event celebrating our local history and natural environment with Frontera Arts & Education Collaborative and Amanecer People’s Project! There will be fun, hands-on, activities for all ages!
During this free drop-in event, Frontera Arts & Education Collaborative will be inviting the public to make art by participating in Project Mariposa, a year-long collaborative art series featuring the literal and figurative facets of the monarch butterfly. Individuals will be creating pieces of a monarch butterfly wall hanging that, once complete, produces the effect of collective movement and migration. There will also be two other hands-on activities hosted by Frontera Arts & Ed during Family Day. The community-created installation will represent hope and freedom while celebrating the storied symbolism of the monarch butterfly itself. Led by artist Saige Soskin and educator Rachel Weislow, all ages are welcome.
Visitors can view Amanecer’s new pop-up exhibit “Environment on the Edge: Climate Justice in El Paso” and enjoy hands-on crafts. Amanecer People’s Project will be leading a story time and art-making activity for the public.
