The Hexagon Project Buzzed with Activity in September

/ By

We kicked off September with our exhibition of environmental hexagons at First Friday in Scranton and the month continued to buzz with activity all the way through with our 17th Annual Recognition Event and five free workshops for the community. While it’s impossible to share every wonderful moment and all of the beautiful art and connections made at these events, we are sharing some of the highlights below.
