On Indigenous Peoples' Day, we honor the sovereignty, resilience and immense contributions that Native Americans have made to the world. Join us for an art making activity and other programming to respectfully acknowledge and celebrate Indigenous communities.

Celebrate the abundant, vibrant colors found in nature and use them to make art. Join artist and educator Katherine Hagman (Lumbee) and create watercolor paintings with everything from turmeric to beets!
