Global Lounge Batik Apprenticeship Program. In partnership with Idaho Commission on the Arts and Amiri Osman ~ The Artist
We were happy to have an opportunity for an African student or person of African heritage 18 years or older interested in an immersive experience to learn this great African art. There was no cost for the student, however the program required commitment for 2 hours every Sunday for 10 weeks.
Global Lounge Featured Artist and former artist in residence Amiri Osman is a mentor who was passing on the Batik art cultural Tradition to Meridian Negilski a mentee at the Global Lounge Commons through the Traditional Arts Apprenticeship grant program from Idaho commission on the arts.
