Open Studio: Words Matter
January 11, 2025 | 10:00 am–2:00 pm
Start the New Year with fresh opportunities for artistic expression every weekend in January at Open Studio. Discover how you can use art to explore your identity, find your power, and change the world! Collaborate or craft your own artwork to take home. Each week will introduce new ideas and creative challenges!
This week, we’ll explore the power of words, and how we can use them for creative expression through Barbara Kruger’s Belief + Doubt. Make a statement by combining newspapers, magazine clippings, and other print materials into your own miniature installation.
Meet in the Art School on the Lower Level.
Do this at home! Transform a box into a unique space inspired by Siah Armajani! Instructions here.
