In partnership with the Neon Pacific Initiative at UNLV, join Nevada Humanities on December 7 at Clark County Library for two FREE events celebrating the art of lei-making:

Moderated Conversation with Local Lei Makers | 10:30 am - 11:15 am
Enjoy a conversation with lei makers Lindsey Oshiro-Nacapuy of Lei Ohu Florals and Tyra Stovall-Hao of 702 Haku Lei. Find out their stories, what this traditional art means to them, and how lei making builds community in southern Nevada.

Lei Making Workshop | 11:30 am - 12:15 pm | *Free registration required
Following the conversation, stick around for a lei making workshop led by Oshiro-Nacapuy. Seating for the workshop is limited. While registration for this workshop is now full, interested participants may join the waitlist.
