Happy Weekend/Art Hour

Patterns of Place  /  Shapes of Space

May 29, 2026
4:00 pm to 6:00 pm

A person holding a folded out collaged drawing featuring different areas of colors, shapes, and patterns. There are other samples on the table below, suggesting this sample is an abstracted map.

Forgoing a map’s practical need to orient, guide, and measure space, how might you chart the contours of your home through feeling, memory, and the expressive qualities of pattern?  

Take inspriation from Edgar Heap of Birds’s brightly colored Neuf Series, which abstractly references the gesture, shape, and color of the wooded canyons of the Cheyenne and Arapaho reservation lands. Drop in anytime between 4–6 PM to create a collaged personal map of your own favorite places using expressive drawings and patterned paper. 

Organized in conjunction with Some American Dreams.
