Pages of the Prairie: A Community Art Junk Journal

Description

Join SJMiller Arts and the Lyon County Historical Society Museum for Pages of the Prairie, a collaborative art project celebrating creativity, community, and personal storytelling. Using collage, mixed media, and a variety of found and decorative papers, participants will create unique journal pages inspired by their own memories, experiences, and connections to the community. Each page will become part of a larger collective artwork, bringing individual voices together in one handmade book. Following the workshops, artist SammyJo Miller will assemble and hand-bind the contributed pages into a finished community junk journal for the museum. No previous art experience is necessary, and all materials are provided! This is a FREE program. Registration is requested.
