Join Makiko Maekawa for a fun and creative community art event designed especially for kids! Kids will be working together to create a large and beautiful weaving art piece that will be on display in Atlanta Contemporary’s next Exhibition, opening on October 24th. The weaving project invites young artists to explore their creativity and work together to create a vibrant, collaborative piece of art—a beautiful tapestry designed to foster and highlight how community togetherness can create something beautiful.
This is a drop-in event. Doors open at 12 pm and visitors may begin the project any time until 2 pm.
Makiko believes kids have magical power in creativity and imagination. She is originally from Japan and studied photography in Baltimore, MD. As a child she learned that art is universal language that allows kids express their power. She currently lives in Atlanta and creates art in mixed media including photographic images.
From 12 pm to 6 pm, join us for hands-on play and demonstrations of the ATLANTAVERSE AI simulator, facilitated by designer Sarah Lawrence. She will be present to guide the experience and foster conversations around artificial intelligence. Additionally, we’re excited to collaborate with STE(A)M TRUCK for a craft activation, where attendees can create LED frames to display their generated graphics.
