During his winter 2025 artist residency at KSMoCA, Napoleon Jones-Henderson led two workshops with Ms. Kahn’s second grade students. They built houses from cardboard in the style that Jones-Henderson has used in his own work. Then they glued and pasted images of things they find important on the surface of the structure so the house becomes a sacred space for cultivation of ideas and concepts. The resulting student artwork will be exhibited at KSMoCA alongside Jones-Henderson’s work. 

The exhibition opening takes place in the Cafetorium hallway. Please stop by the Main Office to sign in and receive a “Visitor” badge.
