Petals for Progress: A Paper Flower Workshop

In conjunction with the Unforgiving Yardstick Exhibit, closing on March 27th, Rye Historical Society is offering a creative new program, Petals for Progress: A Paper Flower Workshop. Throughout our history, women have repurposed floriography (the language of flowers) as a tool for political resistance and solidarity. During this workshop, participants will craft handmade flowers out of yardstick-inspired paper to symbolize the unwavering spirit and resilience of the women portrayed in this exhibit. Following the workshop, a short tour of the exhibit will also be offered. This program is free, registration is requested.

**This project is made possible with funds from Arts Alive, a regrant program of ArtsWestchester with support from the Office of the Governor, the New York State Legislature, and the New York State Council on the Arts.
