Join us on Sunday, November 13 for Prebys Play Day (PPD). Based out of Conrad Prebys Learning Center and sprawling into terraces and galleries, we invite you to join us in learning about the art and lives of the Native people who have inhabited San Diego.
In celebration of Native American Heritage month, play, create, and learn about the Kumeyaay life in La Jolla and San Diego’s coastal regions. Help us commemorate and learn about the native people who continue to steward the lands we live on. Make a pinch pot with locally sourced clay and fill it with the seeds of native plants! With each step, we’ll provide information on coloring pages that you can staple into your zine.
