The Mask Making Workshop for children age six and up will explore how animals and plants are connected in a healthy ecosystem. Children will decorate animal masks, and learn about biodiversity and species endangerment.

The workshop is free; advance registration is required. Children younger than six are welcome if accompanied by a parent. Food will be available in EMPAC’s lobby before and after the workshop. Register here.

Following the workshop, children and their families can attend an outdoor world drum concert and musical procession that ends in RPI’s EMPAC concert hall with a performance of Susie Ibarra’s newly commissioned Earth Week tribute, Circadian Rhythms. The performance will interweave percussion from diverse traditions with diverse animal and bird recordings from Cornell’s Macaulay Library – celebrating biological, cultural and sensory diversity.
