NSU Art Museum is partnering with various community organizations to host a variety of workshops as part of the Community Voices Series, NSU Art Museum’s initiative supported by the Community Foundation of Broward, that focuses on exploring social and racial inequalities and challenging social structures, including representation in museums.

Join us as we welcome local artist, Djerlens Chery to host a drop-in art making workshop for all ages. Inspired by the Lux et Veritas exhibition, Djerlens will explore the relationship between Art and Hip-Hop. Participants will create Hip-Hop inspired artwork.
