Socially Awkward Tapestry
The Socially Awkward Tapestry is a live, evolving public art installation built entirely by festival-goers. Armed with chalk markers, participants draw directly onto a freestanding transparent plexiglass easel — no plan required, just a willingness to add your mark to the collective. Find a stranger on the other side of the glass. Draw them badly. Repeat. A collaborative plexiglass mural built one awkward encounter at a time.
SATURDAY, August 1st, 11 am - 3 pm
