Families can participate in the unique art of linoleum block printmaking in conjunction with “Original Green,” an exhibit of contemporary American Indian art. Noted Minneapolis artist Gordon Coons, whose works are featured in the exhibit, will demonstrate the process for creating carved blocks and then show participants how to make their own prints in the Woodland Art Style to take home. Coons is an enrolled member of the Lac Courte Oreilles Tribe of northern Wisconsin. This workshop is part of “Greening the Riverfront,” a series of programs exploring our relationship with nature, past, present and future.
