Community Art Project

Shawna Bowman

Wild Goose Community Artists are visual artists who will collaborate and co-create with presenters, speakers and musicians at the Goose! We are exploring a multi-sensory approach to learning and growing through the work of our visual artist and their work will provide a visual conversation partner along with the brilliant words and music you are used to encountering in our various venues. There will also be times and spaces in which community artists will invite you to co-create as well!
