As Dr. Kovats-Bernat educates and guides discussion, participants will decorate their own masks using provided art supplies to represent the “masks” we wear in society. This creative reflection invites you to express your identity, authenticity, and self-awareness through art and conversation.
Come ready to learn, create, and connect.
