COHERENT CROW CAMP
July 28th through August 1st
Middle school kids ages 11 - 15 are invited to join Fire in the Village for COHERENT CROW CAMP, a week of art-making and empowerment!
Crow Campers will try printmaking (patches,‘zines, posters), poetry, songwriting, music, D.I.Y. fashion, journaling and photography — as well as skill-building, self-reflection and making real connections with each other.
COHERENT CROW CAMP happens at Room 203 inside the Old Central School, downtown Grand Rapids, from July 28th to August 1st.
Over the week spent working with Fire in the Village artists, Crow Campers will prepare a night of sharing in Room 203, presenting their art projects to family and friends at the First Friday Art Walk!
Coherent Crow Camp youth art sharing will happen August 1st at 6PM.
