OPENING: November 12th, 5:30pm-7:30pm.

This November, Artists Working in Education (AWE) invites you to be part of a powerful celebration of mentorship, creativity, and community.

Our 3rd annual Maker|Mentor exhibition is a celebration of the artistic skills and talents within AWE’s creative ecosystem. A curated and juried selection of artwork from our Rising Artists Council (taught by Siri Stensberg), our newly established Middle School Art Club (taught by Abigail Ziesemann), and teaching artists of AWE’s past and present will be on display.

While you’re enjoying artwork born from our community programming, enjoy food from our Vliet St. neighborhood restaurant, Cocina Filipina.

Artworks for sale offer the opportunity to sustain the creative endeavors of the artists who bring AWE’s mission to life: 80% of sale proceeds will go directly to the artist.

During our exhibition opening, local artist Anja Notanja will host a drop-in-as-you-wish shadow puppet workshop. Notanja will guide participants as they use cut paper/ephemera and objects like feathers on an overhead projector to create scenes and characters.
