Finding Peace: Create Loving Offerings for Our Community Altar
Saturday, August 30, 2025
12:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m.
This event repeats every week on Saturday between 8/30/2025 and 9/6/2025.
If you could send a message to an enslaved person from the past, how would you use your creativity to acknowledge the inherent humanity of their life? Would you draw them a beautiful map to freedom? Write a loving poem to sing softly into their ear? Paint a colorful picture that holds hidden symbols of care?
Dyckman Farmhouse Museum is honored to welcome back our 2024–2025 exhibiting artist, Regina Evans, for a community-engaged project that pays tribute to the enslaved people who once unjustly lived and labored here. Through this Community Altar, we offer a deliberate acknowledgment of their life’s journey so that they are properly honored and remembered.
Using materials provided and optional guided prompts, participants will create loving offerings— a letter, poem, or drawing—that will be placed on the Community Altar and later bound into a book by Regina Evans for public viewing. All ages welcome!
