MASKS OF THE AMERICAS

  • Montclair Public Library 50 South Fullerton Avenue Montclair, NJ, 07042 United States (map)

Learn about masks used in Latin American celebrations, ceremonies and rituals. Kids will see examples from the Americas and decorate their own with paint, beads, feathers, and paper. They’ll incorporate them with favorite Latin American elements like animals, flowers, and carnival characters. Monica Chavarria leads this workshop, highlighting the importance of cultural preservation and celebrating diversity through art. From Medellin, Colombia (the city of “Eternal Spring”), Chavarria has been teaching art for 23 years and creates works expressing memories of her homeland. View her art at monicachavarriaart.com.
