SUMMARY:ARTIVISM 101: A workshop on creating art to change the world

Do you have something you want to better or change in your community or in the world? How can art inspire you to change the world for the better? How can art help you to be fearless and speak up?

This workshop is geared to artists of all ages\, especially kids and families. Nikkolas will sign books and merchandise following the workshop. \nAttendees are encouraged to bring whatever materials they are most comfortable creating art with.
