Beaded Prayers
11 a.m.–2 p.m.

The Beaded Prayers Project is a long-term participatory artwork started by artist Sonya Clark in 1998. This project demonstrates that art can be a communal activity as participants create packets containing potent contents, including their hopes or prayers written on a piece of paper and encased within a covering that has at least one bead. Much like a quilting circle, each individual and their contribution become part of something larger than themselves, part of the collective.
