The Art of the Word: Drop-In Art Making inspired by Word Powered Artist Shelley Brenner Baird  |  10 am – 5 pm 

Is there a word that holds power for you or one you think should be championed to the world? Draw inspiration from the work of Word Powered exhibition artist Shelley Brenner Baird to create your own letter mash-up “power word” to take home. Baird has recently focused on campaign signs, deconstructing them and reconstructing the letters into new words and phrases. Visitors can tap into the immense power of words by using letters cut from election yard signs to create their own word art. 

Visitors of all ages are invited to drop in and create between 10 am and 5 pm. All materials provided.
