👩‍🎨Artist Spotlight: Samella Lewis👩‍🎨

Join us at Old Town Newhall Branch as we celebrate the remarkable work of Samella Sanders Lewis, the “Godmother of African American Art.” Learn about her life, her influence as a pioneering artist and art historian, and the powerful themes that shaped her visual storytelling.

After a brief exploration of her legacy, participants will get hands-on by creating their own DIY stamp prints inspired by her artistic techniques.
