About This Event

Drop in at WAM for informal artmaking inspired by Jacob Lawrence’s The Migrants Arrive and Cast Their Ballots on view in the newest exhibition organized from WAM’s permanent collection, Revolutions: In Pursuit of a More Perfect Union. We invite you to meet up with a friend, bring a loved one, or join us on your own! WAM museum teacher Addison Pagels will guide you in creating a cut paper collage echoing Lawrence’s signature style. Supplies are provided, and the program is free and open to the public.
