Join us for an artist talk with Made of Memory artist Cynthia Brannvall and art historian Dr. Elizabeth Carroll (SJSU and Foothill College).

Youth ages 8-12, meet us at the museum and join educators to tour the Made of Memory exhibit, in which you will learn about five women artists who explore concepts of memory as it pertains to generational and cultural experience, immigration, and migration.
