Honor Black History Month

Create this month’s “Art with Alyssa” project (pictured here), inspired by the works of New York-based artist, Justin Sterling, then head down to the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park by Feb. 12 to see the artwork come to life. Sterling’s exhibit, Chapel of the Rocks, features reimagined stained glass windows and other masterpieces made of unconventional materials. www.sdmart.org
