Artist-in-Residence Workshop: Learn to Map Your Neighborhood through Collage
Meeting Rooms A and B Combined
Saturday, Nov 16, 2024, 10:00am to 12:00pm
Make a neighborhood map! Join Sequoya Library Artist-in-Residence Stephen Kennedy of LATLONG.SHOP to learn how to construct your own map out of magazine cut outs. He’ll walk through techniques to make a depiction of Madison—your favorite features of the city, your neighborhood, or your daily commute—from your perspective.
Supplies provided, but feel free to bring old magazines if you like their imagery or typography. All ages welcome, but parents are recommended to supervise kids under age 10.
Registration is required and opens two weeks before the program, at 9am on 11/2. Please sign up for either this session or Friday evening's session.
Stephen's show, Atlas of an Isthmus: Creative Cartography of Madison & Beyond, is on display at Sequoya Library September 1-December 31, 2024.
