Let’s Hear it for the Fathers!

Join us for a heartfelt and creative celebration of Fathers/Father Figures. Hear from poet Joseph Green as he shares an original poem in honor of fathers followed by our “Hand in Hand: Expressive Canvas Art” experience by artist Brian Bailey. This interactive activity will allow participants to pair with a loved one to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake together— a beautiful, layered handprint canvas symbolizing their bond. Interested participants should plan to be on time. Supplies provided.

What to Expect:

• Hands-On Art Creation: Participants will press their handprints onto a canvas, layering them to create a lasting memory.
• Personal Touches: Participants can add messages, doodles, or decorations to make their artwork extra special.
• Quality Time: This activity is designed to foster connection, creativity, and appreciation between loved ones.
• A Take-Home Keepsake: Each duo will leave with a meaningful piece of art to cherish forever.

Joseph Green is a storyteller, educator, and narrative disrupter with a passion for connecting people through the power of words.

Brian Bailey is a self-taught, multifaceted artist based in Washington, D.C., who has made a significant impact on the city’s creative landscape.
