Art-Making Activity: Diamonds in the Rough

Star Tribune Foundation Art Lab, 10 am–3 pm

Explore carbon’s many forms in this transformative art-making activity led by artist Ruben Nusz. Organized in conjunction with the exhibition Lifelike, the project takes a look at the fictitious idea that diamonds come from coal.
