On select Monday’s meet some of Cincinnati’s newest neighbors as they create art together with artist Calcagno Cullen of the Archive as Action exhibition. The artists are part of The Welcome Project, a social enterprise based in Camp Washington that provides job training in fabrication, art skills, and store management and to Cincinnati’s refugees and immigrants.
For this session, Oriana Center will be teaching the art of textile jewelry. Oriana creates one of a kind accessory pieces that make us feel unique and strong. Originally from Venezuela, she creates using the colors and spirit of her own history combined with a contemporary flare. She has recently joined The Welcome Project and will be offering her pieces for sale in the shop as well as teaching more classes at Welcome soon! Check out some of her creations at www.instagram.com/ocreforyou/.
