Handwriting the Constitution (8/20)

Celebrate our nation’s 250th Sesquicentennial by participating in our Handwriting the Constitution community art project. Participants will transcribe portions of the U.S. Constitution on large foamcore whiteboards using black felt-tip markers.

Participants at all levels of artistic skill are welcome. The transcriptions will be assembled into a single large-scale collective artwork-the entire U.S. Constitution written by diverse hands-and will be installed for the public in Los Gatos.

Participating in the handwriting sessions can be meditative, thought-provoking, and reflective. We hope that participants will have a renewed sense of the importance of, and appreciation for, our Constitution. We will collect comments, impressions and observations from participants about their experience.

Constitution handwriting sessions will be offered at NUMU: 

7/16/26 - 12:15-1:15 PM
7/25/26 - 12:15-1:15 PM
8/20/26 - 12:15-1:15 PM

This program is made in partnership with the Town of Los Gatos. More information can be found at www.handwritetheconstitution.com
