ARTIVISM 101: A workshop on creating art to change the world

Bestselling illustrator Nikkolas Smith hosts a Kids & Family Workshop on creating art that aligns with and highlights activism.

Nikkolas Smith, Artivist and #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator, will show you how to become an Artivist. Do you have something you want to better or change in your community or in the world? How can art inspire you to change the world for the better? How can art help you to be fearless and speak up? With Nikkolas’ guidance, attendees of this workshop will create their own Artivism piece and be a part of the Artivist movement. Attendees are encouraged to bring whatever materials they are most comfortable creating art with. The American Writers Museum will provide paper and drawing materials like colored pencils, but if you prefer to create digital art you must bring your own computers, tablets, etc.
