Join exhibiting artist Linda Hinson on January 10 from 3 - 6 PM to create a personal shadow box shrine to commemorate something or someone important to you!In Mexican and South American cultures, small, decorated boxes called “Nichos” are commonly found in homes and public places, displayed on walls or pedestals. Often painted with bright colors, they provide a stage-like setting for an object or collection of objects that have great significance.
What purpose will your altar/shrine/nicho have?
- To memorialize someone, something, or some place.
- To honor a special day or idea.
- To help with a goal or some change you want to make.
- To center yourself or make you feel at peace.
- To honor a belief.
- As protection or to help you face a fear.
Base materials and a glass of wine will be provided with entry fee. Please also bring personal items for your shrine. Try to decide ahead of time what your shrine will honor. Then bring items and objects to represent that idea. For example: photos, trinkets, and notions like beads, junk jewelry, charms, or mementos like ticket stubs, magazine pictures, maps, newspaper articles, or poem/song lyrics. Whatever you bring should hold meaning for you!
Tickets are $30 for Museum Members and $35 for non-members. There is limited seating available for this workshop, so reserve your ticket now: www.montgomerymuseum.org/events-page/personal-altar
