• The purpose of this event is to give BIPOC youth the opportunity and resources to be creative and maybe find a new hobby.

• BIPOC individuals are underrepresented in all media. This gives BIPOC youth an opportunity to change and control their narrative. 

• This workshop will create a space for BIPOC youth to connect with their peers and improve their art skills.
