This community involvement is artist guided, with the goal of maximum inclusion without censorship. Most works take place in the public realm, sometimes in unexpected places, engaging public that may not traditionally participate in formal art activities.<\/p>\n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"card simple\" >\n    <div class=\"card-header relative\" id=\"heading-836532127\">\n        <div class=\"d-flex justify-content-between\">\n            <h5 class=\"mb-0\">Educational Activity Information<\/h5><button class=\"btn-link\" type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse-836532127\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse-836532127\"><\/button>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <a href=\"javascript:;\" class=\"cover_link\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse-836532127\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse-836532127\" aria-label=\"Toggle\"><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div id=\"collapse-836532127\" class=\"collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"heading-836532127\" data-parent=\"#accordionExample\">\n        <div class=\"card-body\">\n            \n\n<p>Erika&#8217;s hands-on activities are geared towards middle school ages and up, with an emphasis on artist guided research and implementation of discoveries.
