Inaugurates the art studio at the CCAC, sharing space and basic art supplies for visual arts and crafts work. Participants of any experience background can come with their own projects in hand to make use of the studio or to respond to the given prompt of the week. Open Art Labs foster relationships, skill exchange, and support for anyone looking to meet other artists and deepen or begin a visual arts practice. The theme for this summer’s Art Labs is “Monsters” and culminates in an outdoor public art display of all of the created works. Titled, ‘Monster Garden,’ this display will allow artists to share their work with the public and will offer a fun, multi-disciplinary display for the community to enjoy.
The Art Labs will be led by Jeremy Louise Eaton, a 20-year veteran of leading community-based visuals arts programming. Eaton, a theater director and visual artist with a focus on collaboratively created large-scale puppets and experiential installation, will oversee the work as well as outreach into the community.
Thanks to the support from the Onion Foundation as well as donors and members!
