First grade students at Van Duyn Elementary School were given books during the kickoff for the Syracuse City School District’s “Spring Into Summer” reading program. The SCSD is providing age and grade-level appropriate books for every kindergarten through fifth grade student in the district to reduce a loss in reading skills over the summer months. The event was held on June 9th. (Click on image below to enlarge)
Portrait Workshop with Sofía Luz Pérez and Cayetano Valenzuela
Portrait Workshop with Sofía Luz Pérez and Cayetano Valenzuela
Join us for a two-part workshop with exhibiting artist Sofía Luz Pérez and Syracuse artist Cayetano Valenzuela. In this workshop, Cayetano Valenzuela and Sofía Luz Pérez will share their own practices and processes in making a portrait/self-portrait and ask participants to create a portrait or self-portrait. The emphasis of the portrait should be on identity and cultural background/ancestry, but they encourage everyone to delve into any part of themselves or the person they are drawn to portraying. This is a free workshop with limited space available. We ask that you attend both sessions. Art supplies will be provided and you are welcome to also bring your own.
