Art-Making Workshop with Chakaia Booker on Oct. 12

Chakaia Booker stands in front of one of her large-scale sculptures in New York City.

The public is invited to an art-making workshop with Chakaia Booker, the 2024–25 Karl Stirner Arts Trail Artist-in-Residence, on Saturday, Oct. 12, from noon–2 p.m., at the base of Movie Hill near the KSAT dog park. The rain location is Ahart Family Arts Plaza between Buck Hall and the Williams Visual Arts Building at the foot of College Hill.

Collected found objects and materials will be hammered, nailed, screwed, tied, and glued together into new creations. Participants will be guided by students in Lafayette’s Creative and Performing Arts Scholars program along with Phillipsburg and Easton high school students in the Lafayette art department’s Community-Based Teaching Program, which is led by Jim Toia, KSAT’s executive director and curator.
