Join Intuit for Art After Work, a free series of facilitated art-making workshops. This month, Intuit is partnering with our neighbor Weinberg/Newton Gallery to host a special edition of Art After Work in celebration of Earth Day (Friday, April 22, 2022). In the virtual program, Weinberg/Newton Gallery educator Lisa Lindvay will spotlight the gallery’s exhibition Human/Nature, an exhibition addressing one of the most urgent issues of our time: climate change. Following the discussion, Lindvay will facilitate an embroidery workshop inspired by conceptual craft artist Karen Reimer, whose work is exhibited in Human/Nature.
