Spring 2024 Service Project
Event Details
Design Forward | Art 4 Shelter
Tuesday, April 2, 2024
4:30-7:30 PM
Rapson Hall Courtyard
REGISTER
Bring your family and friends and join members of the College of Design community for a UMN Day of Service activity in Rapson Hall! Come and go any time that fits your schedule.
Volunteers will create a piece of 5"x7" or 8"x10" artwork which Simpson Housing Services will sell at their upcoming Art 4 Shelter auction event. Each piece of art sold at the event provides a night of housing for someone in need.
We'll have some materials, but volunteers can also bring their own or donate materials if desired! This event is drop-in, so you can come and leave anytime during the activity. Light snacks will be provided.
This event is open to everyone—a background in art is not required!
Registration is requested to help with planning but all are welcome to drop by and make art to donate.
