Join us for a family-friendly art workshop as part of the Contemporary Kids program, where kids of all ages can explore their creativity and engage with the themes of contemporary art!
During this workshop, artist Makiko Maekawa will guide young artists in creating their own contemporary art projects. Using a variety of materials like paint, paper, and objects, participants will explore how to express themselves through art.
Event Details:
Drop-in format: Doors open at 12 PM, and visitors can start their project any time until 2 PM.
Time to complete: Most participants finish their artwork in 30-45 minutes.
Explore the exhibitions: After completing their projects, kids and families are welcome to explore the exhibitions at their own pace.
This event is open to all ages, so bring the whole family for a creative and meaningful afternoon of art-making.
Free Parking is available at the lot on Bankhead & Means Street (Google Maps Location). Access the lot via Bankhead Avenue, passing the parking attendant booth.
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.
