Join Niki Lopez for The Art of Self-Expression: Mindful Mask-Making, a creative experience that blends visual art, reflection, and community.

In this guided mixed-media workshop, participants will create their own expressive mask while exploring identity, personal storytelling, and creativity in a welcoming and supportive environment. Inspired by cultural symbolism and the power of art to help express what words sometimes cannot, this workshop is designed for both beginners and experienced creatives.

All materials are included, and no prior art experience is necessary. Participants will leave with a completed artwork and a meaningful creative experience rooted in self-expression and connection.

Hosted at Island City Stage during Wilton Women's Week, this workshop offers visitors and locals an opportunity to experience the vibrant arts and cultural community of South Florida through a one-of-a-kind hands-on event.
