Join us and contribute to a community nature mandala with teaching artist Sudeshna Sengupta. Find a place in the harmonious pattern for a springtime contribution that will embellish and enhance the design, inspired by traditional Aalpana art of South Asia. Learn how the circle, which is found in many objects in nature, inspired O’Keeffe’s habits, like collecting rocks, and her artwork, including pieces in the current exhibition A Circle that Nothing Can BreakAll materials will be provided.
