Art Your Story - Share and connect through art
"Art Your Story" is a club meant for everyone interested in art and culture. Each meeting has a different theme corresponding to a specific art form. In the meetings each participant will bring a piece of art that inspires them. You can share art from your own culture for example. The theme for the first meeting (6.4) is visual art. The themes for the next meetings will be decided in the first meeting. The club will meet on Zoom and meetings will be lead by Familia's volunteers in English.
