Summer Art at MSFAC and our New Grant!
Summer is on our minds!
In case you haven’t
already looked at our programming for this summer, we are offering some
pretty great classes for toddlers up to 13 year olds. We have some new themed
classes for ages 5-7; my personal favorite, “Creatures of the Deep Sea”
(running August 20-24), will be a fun exploration of all those crazy looking
fish and living things that live at the bottom of the ocean. Jellies, crabs,
and fish, oh my!
We have two classic MSFAC classes coming up in June: “Drawing Outside the Lines” and “Painting without Brushes.” Both classes are a great way to stretch that imagination and think of different ways to use traditional materials. We have made some pretty great things in the past. Here are a few shots of the “Paint without Brushes” camp from last summer:
What were your kid’s
favorite summer camps in the past?
We received our grant!
Our first ever grant from the
Kids Fund!
We will use the money to create a new art program. We dubbed this new program “OASis” (thanks to Jen
for coming up with the name!), which means “Open Art Studio is…” This new
program will cater to students in our community with special needs by providing
them with an outlet to make art. We have great teachers who have education in
art education, art therapy, and community art, so we are using our
talents to help MSFAC bring art to all community members of Madison! I will be
running the program, along with Abby Tindal, starting in the fall. (Can you
tell we are excited!?) If you want to read more about our wonderfully qualified
teachers in the art program, go here. The best part is that the Kids
Fund rewarded us MORE than we asked for! How wonderful is that?! I will keep
you posted on the happenings of this program as it develops!
That’s all for now, enjoy
the lovely weather!
