All Things Art @ the MAC is a new, immersive weeklong program in late summer for young artists ages 10-13. The program runs Monday-Friday, August 2-6, from 9:00 am – 12:30 pm daily. In this survey of different media and practices, young artists will experiment with drawing, sculpting, printing on fabric, working with clay, and more! Learn how to talk about art making and what inspires one’s creative choices. Some class time will be spent outdoors, weather permitting. The cost is $225 for MAC members and $265 for nonmembers, plus a $50 materials fee per student. Classes will take place in the downstairs MAC Studio or on the MAC lawn. This class can accommodate 8-12 young artists.
The MAC’s ArtStart Director and owner of Children’s Art Lab, Benares Angeley, will lead the program. Young Artists will take lessons with several different instructors, most of whom are professional artists working in their fields. Projects for the week will include creating with clay with Stephanie Sherman, printing on fabric with Shara Porter, drawing with Dena Haden, sculpture with Aylin Cetik, and art discussion with Benares Angeley. Find out more about the instructors, the daily schedule and specific projects, and register online at marionartcenter.org/all-things-art.
Participants should bring a bag lunch and a water bottle every day. MAC members at the Family level ($75) or higher receive a significant discount on tuition.
