Kick off cherry blossom season with a workshop presented with Nicolas Shi, the official artist of the National Cherry Blossom Festival! A longtime resident of Washington, DC, Shi’s work is influenced by his upbringing in El Salvador, his Chinese heritage, and his formal education in the United States.

In this two-hour workshop, he will discuss his work with the National Cherry Blossom Festival before leading participants through an activity inspired by DC’s beloved cherry blossoms. Please note space is limited for this program, and registration is required. Participants must register by 7 p.m. ET on March 10.

This program is presented with the 2024 National Cherry Blossom Festival.
