PROJECT:

Civic Season is a new tradition for self-discovery and civic upskilling, co-created by Gen Z and cultural institutions. Civic Season is the flagship program from Made By Us, a network of hundreds of museums, historic sites, libraries and archives unleashing access to history for younger generations who have the most at stake.

We all have unique perspectives. Forty years ago, through his unique style of painting, artist Oscar de Mejo depicted seminal scenes from the American Revolution. These 15 works are housed in the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation permanent collection. To help us build with the future in mind, we welcome new traditions to be developed with the next generation through one of two hands-on "making" sessions. A variety of art-making materials will be provided to create a monoprint. Your unique contribution will help build our community-created museum collection. This workshop is part of the national engagement program, Civic Season and piloting efforts for Fresh Views, an initiative for America’s 250th Commemoration.
