Earth Tones: Portrait & Painting Workshop at Carver Middle School Garden

  • George Washington Carver Middle School Garden 4410 McKinley Avenue Los Angeles, CA, 90011 United States (map)

Through paint and storytelling, we’ll celebrate the diversity of composters across Los Angeles. Whether you’ve been dropping off food scraps at a farmers market, volunteering at a compost hub, composting at home, or are just beginning your compost journey, this workshop is for you! Together, we’ll use painting and writing to express and reflect on what composting means to us and how it connects our entire city.

We’ll create art pieces that will become part of a digital portrait exhibition: “Earth Tones: People and stories of LA Compost.” This exhibition will highlight the shared practice of composting, while uplifting the individual stories that make our community diverse, beautiful and strong!

The session will be guided by Adriana Barrera, an Angeleno artist and illustrator, who will lead us through an immersive creative process rooted in connection to nature and community.
