Disability Pride Pennant-Making Workshop with Bri Beck

Good Hart Artist-in-Residence Bri Beck will lead a Disability Pride Pennant-Making activity at Crooked Tree Arts Center on June 12th from 1-4pm. Each participant will design a custom pennant that reflects their unique embodiment and the message they want to share with the world. The pennants will be made entirely of felt, with pre-cut background shapes and a variety of pre-cut felt elements—including letters, symbols, icons, and even some designs inspired by anatomy and mobility aids. Participants will also have the option to draw and cut their own shapes or letters if they prefer. Once completed, the pennants will be strung together to form a community banner that can be displayed in an organization’s space. This project is especially timely, as July is Disability Pride Month. The banner will serve as a vibrant celebration of the strength, resilience, and diversity of the disability community. Bri’s goal is to offer participants a creative way to express their individual pride while also seeing their contributions as part of a larger disability culture narrative. This free event, offered in partnership with Ann's Nest, Challenge Mountain, Crooked Tree Arts Center and the Good Hart Artist Residency, will be inclusive and welcoming to all. There will be a range of accessible options to accommodate diverse needs. All materials will be provided for this drop in event, though we ask that you register so we have adequate supplies.
