Sannii will facilitate a series of workshops for youth using art, music, and spoken word to explore concepts of love in her own community of Mount Airy. As a woman of color who remembers what it was like to be a youth who needed a place to create, evolve, and revolutionize her way of thinking regarding love, relationships and her community, Sannii is hoping to provide a multi-layered and deep approach to thinking about love. Different local artists will come to Sannii’s studio to support and develop the youth’s artistic expression through the mediums of wood, paint, fabric, casting and journals. The art will be exhibited at the Art Noir Gallery. A portion of all sales will go to an existing scholarship fund for young artists.
