Want to walk in Midtown's annual Parliament of Owls Lantern Parade?
Led by Chantelle Rytter and the Krewe of Grateful Gluttons, it’s approaching quickly (August 3rd), and you’re invited to participate in the activation — all you’ll need is an owl lantern, and this is your chance to make one!
Grab a friend (or fly solo), bring a beer, and join local lantern artist and Krewe member Sam Duong Woloszynski for an evening at the museum, during which she’ll coach you through the process of lantern making as you work with a kit included in the cost of registration. Sam recommends this workshop for those who feel confident in crafting, though you won’t need prior experience in lantern making. (Manual dexterity is a must for lanterns, though we’ll have an alternative that only requires scissors!)
You’ll leave the workshop with an owl lantern — your ticket to the Parliament of Owls Lantern Parade — and the foundation to continue creating lanterns and lighting up Atlanta!

About the Workshop Facilitator
Sam Duong Woloszynski is a local lantern artist, parade performer, and member of the Krew of the Grateful Gluttons. She has performed in over a dozen parades, and her most recent lantern artwork was an 8-foot-long koi fish (a collaboration with lantern artist Santiago Arconada) that debuted in the Atlanta BeltLine Lantern Parade earlier this year. She's also a certified facilitator, dance instructor, and workshop designer, and she's excited to spend an evening making art with you!
About the Parliament of Owls Lantern Parade
The artist who created the owl lantern kits we'll be using is the community parade artist Chantelle Rytter, Captain and Artistic Director of the Krewe of the Grateful Gluttons, and founder of the Atlanta BeltLine Lantern Parade, the Parliament of Owls Lantern Parade in Midtown, and several other annual parades based in public participation.
Rytter grew up in Baltimore and studied integrative arts at Penn State University. Living in New Orleans, she fell under the spell of parade culture and the notion that creative play can be a civic gift. Chantelle founded the Krewe of the Grateful Glutton in New Orleans in 1999.

MODA reserves the right to cancel a program if the minimum enrollment requirements are not met, but don't worry: should MODA have to cancel, we will gladly issue a full refund to all registrants. If you need to cancel your plans for any reason, we kindly request that you notify us at least 7 days prior to the event start. By doing so, we can process a refund for the ticket cost (minus a small $10 processing fee per class). Unfortunately, we cannot provide refunds for cancellations made less than 7 days before an event.
Accessibility
Please note that manual dexterity is required to complete an owl lantern.
Designers with different styles of learning or special needs are welcome in MODA's public programs.
