Description
The United States Constitution, the basis of our democracy, was ratified over 200 years ago. Do we take it for granted in 2019? One method for examining this important document is to sit down and copy the exact wording by hand. In line with sessions begun by New York artist Morgan O'Hara titled "Handwriting the Constitution," you are invited to handwrite in a quiet space with others. Copies of the Constitution, paper, and writing implements will be provided. Participants can copy whatever portion they want and stay as long as they are able. No registration is necessary.
