Visitors of all ages are invited to decorate linocut prints with artist Eileen Jimenez. Participants will make prints using blocks designed by Eileen, featuring images of LGBTQIA+ community pride and of the natural environment. Watercolors and brushes will be made available for visitors to make each print their own unique vision.

Need further inspiration? Be sure to visit BAM’s third floor exhibition, Strange Weather: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation, featuring works by prominent contemporary artists that explore the changing natural and social climates of our modern world.

This event is open to all visitors, included with regular museum admission. No prior registration is required.

About Eileen Jimenez

Eileen's mother is Maria Cruz, her grandmother is Eloisa, and her great grandmother is Isidora, matriarchs of the Ñätho (Otomi Peoples). As an Indigenous leader, community member, educator and as an artist, everything she does and creates is influenced by her many intersecting identities and lived experiences. She creates the art, the structures, the programming and the educational experiences she wishes she and her community would have seen and had access to growing up. Eileen uses linocut and mixed-media techniques to develop her own ways of telling stories in the complex layers that they exist in, as well as to demonstrate the ways that we are connected to the Land and to each other.
