Art With Christy Charlot: Custom Sneaker Workshop

This workshop is a vibrant, hands-on experience where kids create original sneaker art from the ground up. Led by surreal visual artist Christy Charlot, the workshop blends creativity, storytelling, and emotional growth in a way that feels fun, personal, and unforgettable. Kids explore bold ideas, express who they are, and walk away with custom sneakers they designed and painted themselves. The pride is real. The impact lasts.

A woman with braided hair, glasses, and a big smile is crouching down, touching her colorful designed shoe. She is in an indoor setting with purple and yellow lighting, next to an art piece on an easel with pink neon accents and drawings. The woman is wearing a black T-shirt with white text, pink shorts, and is surrounded by markers on a white fabric on the floor.
