Adults | Free, advanced registration is required.
We invite you to find respite at MMFA with a tour of ‘The Carrying Stones Project’ and an afternoon of restorative artmaking alongside the Black Women Rest cohort.
Following the tour and studio session, participants can bring their yoga mats and recharge in the John and Joyce Caddell Sculpture Garden with yoga and breathwork led by June Young, the founder of Worthy of Rest/Black Women Rest.
This class is free with the generous support of the Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program. Advanced registration is required as space is limited.
