Tap into your creativity! Participate in an accessible art-making project and make your own camera.
Saturday, March 08, 2025 from 11 am to 3 pm
Join us for a hands-on experience with pinhole cameras. NMWA's series of Firsthand Experience workshops bring contemporary artists together with learners ages 13 and older for hands-on programs that combine making, conversations, and discovery. In this session, learn about the history of pinhole cameras and how a contemporary artist uses this basic tool to make surreal and ethereal photographs. Join us to create your own lens-less camera, capture images, and develop your photographs.
