Wisdom of the Elders is one of many community partners coming together with Portland Parks and Recreation to celebrate the 75 years of one of our city’s prized outdoor spaces, Forest Park! On Saturday, Sept. 23, join them and other community members to volunteer, learn, and celebrate together at this event, which kicks off at 8:30 a.m.! Wisdom of the Elders is offering a basket weaving workshop at the Lower Macleay trailhead from 9:30-11:30 a.m., led by Celeste Whitewolf, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation elder; and Lise Gervais, a basket weaving instructor. More information on the event and the workshop can be found on this website – including a registration link for the workshop. You can also register for the workshop directly here.

We’re digging back into the archives of KSMoCA’s work to highlight a fun way for folks of all ages to engage in an art moment together! If you haven’t already, check out KSMoCA’s Conceptual Art at Home project – a series of art prompts designed for K-8th grade students, but open for anyone to do! Prompts are written by artists who have worked with KSMoCA, and some of the organization’s broader community of friends. Make a drawing with one of their prompts, connect with a family member through a thoughtful interview, or learn about the work of an artist you didn’t know before!
