marigold zine workshop by anhelo anhelo

Share your experiences or inspirations with marigolds at our zine workshop, and contribute to a collaborative document that will be published by anhelo anhelo.  We will have a smattering of materials and writing implements for you to work with, or you can bring printed, found, drawn, or handwritten materials to add. 

No experience necessary. Come one come all.

The theme of this journal draws from qualities of the marigold: softness, care, growth, persistence, mourning, patience & togetherness. 

anhelo anhelo is lucky to welcome two talented Detroit artists to facilitate this compendium, don’t miss this opportunity to work with Armelle Isabella, and Na Frenette.

Richard Gage Design Studio and anhelo anhelo teamed up to organize a community based art endeavor, the Marigold Project. 2021 is our 2nd year running the project.

In October thousands of golden blooms will illuminate an empty lot in downtown Hazel Park.   Richard Gage Design Studio and  anhelo anhelo,  two local businesses, and the West End Hazel Park Business Coalition come together again this yearto build a community-wide project that will culminate in an immersive public art installation.
Last year the Marigold Project took root in May, the community project grew to include two hundred residents throughout metro Detroit, farms and community gardens, local businesses and schools in Hazel Park.  Each sowed and nurtured marigolds during the summer months and were called on to harvest the marigold blooms and bring the fruit of this collective process to build something larger together. Bring your blooms!
