Middle and high school students are invited to a FREE workshop held on one Thursday per month at MAM!

Teens have the option to engage in creative, affirming art experiences while working with a professional artist. This program demonstrates a positive, respectful, collaborative environment that strives to make all students feel welcome and comfortable. Both teaching artists and exhibiting artists are trained and hired to lead art projects in a variety of art media, techniques, and approaches that relate directly to exhibitions on display.

Art as Activism // Patrick Hoban // February 13

Think about consumption and how it impacts our world. What causes the most waste? Plastic, cans, fast food trash, plastic straws? How can we be more conscious of the waste born of our consumption? Inspired by Stephen Braun's environmentally conscious exhibition "Hindsight is 20/20", build a clay sculpture from objects that represent our own personal waste profile.
