A poetry and art project designed to appeal to a wide-range of individuals of all ages to help gather feedback for the Livermore Cultural Arts Vision. This activity will involve creating a short, heart-based poem and then making paper beads—a craft long practiced in Central and South America, Europe, and Africa. Cynthia Patton, Livermore Poet Laureate and community outreach artist will be facilitating.
