May 23 | Capturing Light
Inspired by the exhibition Karen Zalamea
Step into the world of light, shadow, and discovery in this hands-on family art experience inspired by the work of Karen Zalamea. Through a guided gallery tour, families will explore how Zalamea uses photography and materials to reveal beauty in simple gestures and fleeting moments.
In the studio, you’ll experiment with image-making techniques that play with light and transparency, creating layered prints and cyanotype-inspired artworks that capture the wonder of seeing in new ways.
Led by a professional art instructor, this session invites families to slow down, look closely, and create together. Perfect for all ages, this workshop blends observation, creativity, and a touch of scientific curiosity to inspire your family’s own artistic experiments.

ABOUT THE CURRENT GALLERY EXHIBITION
The Art Gallery at Evergreen is pleased to present Every Surface Is a Shrine, which brings together a selection of photo-based works by Karen Zalamea that traces the shifting boundaries between material, memory and place. Rooted in a critical exploration of photography’s expanded possibilities, Zalamea’s practice reimagines the medium not only as an image-making tool but as a methodology of care, labour and cultural inquiry.
