Monday, June 16th from 2:00 – 3:00 P.M on Zoom 

Join us for another insightful Explore Art with Jano, a virtual art appreciation program. This session we will focus on nature, specifically trees. Sturdy and protective, trees provide us with shelter, oxygen and they have also served as inspiration for the visual and literary arts.

Join us with your curiosity and come ready to share thoughts and ideas. We will look at tall and trim, stout and leafy trees depicted in distinct styles throughout recent history.

Jano Cortijo is an arts educator whose work finds him engaging audiences of various ages, abilities, and backgrounds in museums, classrooms, community centers, and online. Straying far from the canon to elevate artists and works that have been excluded or erased from mainstream conversations, Cortijo encourages critical discussion while connecting the participants’ individual histories and stories with the art and art makers.
