The notion that the pleasure of art making is confined to trained artists and professionals will be upended at Artworks as artists of all ages, cultures, backgrounds and family structures are encouraged to fully immerse themselves in the delightful act of making art and revel in the sheer beauty of self-expression at Art Making Day.
For toddlers, grandparents and everyone in between, Art Making Day — set for April 21 and 28 — is a free event that promotes the idea that entire communities can be connected and uplifted through various forms of creative expression.
Hundreds of children and adults are expected to attend Art Making Day and explore the assorted “art stations” set up throughout Artworks’ building and four other partner organization spaces over two weekends.
Artworks aims to convert its 40-foot-high sky lit facility into an art making playground where visitors imaginations are welcome to go wild. Activities range from Mural Painting and Pop Art Collage to a Bike Gear Spirograph and an Upcycled gARTen pARTy.
Guests are encouraged to submit their creations to the annual Art All Night festival, June 16 and 17 at the Roebling Machine Shop in Trenton.
