🌟 Mask-making magic with Shadowland Theatre 🎭 Over six days, our Building Community Connection Program brought participants together for a heartfelt and inspiring mask-making workshop in partnership with Shadowland Theatre. Through this creative journey, participants sculpted with clay, layered papier mâché, and painted their masks, expressing their inner selves and discovering the therapeutic power of art. The workshop fostered meaningful conversations, shared stories, and built a sense of true community—one beautiful mask at a time. A huge thank you to Anne Barber (she/her), Artistic Director of Shadowland Theatre, Leah Sanchez (Volunteer), and Daniela Galaviz of Mabelle Arts for their incredible contributions to this unforgettable experience. 💫 Art has the power to heal, connect, and transform lives.
