The 37th Annual Prince George’s County Juried Exhibition draws on the vast corps of visual artists who live, work, attend college, or maintain a studio in Prince George’s County. The exhibition fosters an inclusive, community spirit among the participating artists and showcases their varied talents, skills, and diverse media uses.

In the three-hour Altered Book Workshop, participants will choose from a list of prompts discussing emotional regulation skills and emotional naming. In response to these prompts, participants will create altered books and engage in discussions with a life coach and each other. Altered books are created by taking thrifted or donated hardback books and upcycling them into an art journal. The participants will prepare the books by strategically removing and/or gluing pages. Next, they will create art within the pages and on the cover. In an altered book, any medium can be used to make any type of art, such as collage, painting, drawing, found poetry, etc. These altered books offer a safe space to use art as an outlet for self-expression and processing emotions.
