Embrace your creativity! Following the “Closer Look” program in Water's Edge take an art break to make a small artwork of your own inspired by the exhibition.
 
Join a museum arts educator for a hands-on art experience inspired by Truman Lowe’s use of willow branches and light. Participants will play with shadows using willow branches and light to trace the shadows they create. Drop by the tables near the exhibition exit to spend some time creating after your gallery visit.
