Intro to Fine Arts, Fall Afterschool Class

01.02.12

The inaugural Intro to Fine Arts afterschool class at our new CMA location was a prolific and creative exploration. 17 students from ages 5-7 met each Wednesday to learn about an artist and explore different art techniques related to that artist. The students explored carving, printmaking, drawing, painting, and wire sculpture. The kids were so happy, imaginative, and artistically adventurous. These photos are from our final exhibit and celebration.

Public Display Gallery

06.13.11

June 11th CMA kicked off its newest exhibition, Public Display, with an awesome opening reception. Displaying a wide variety of artwork (storyboards, paper mache sculptures, hand puppets, and handmade painting utensils to name a few) the show is quite a collection of creativity. All works were made by students ages 3-16 in New York City Public and Charter Schools over the course of semester-to-yearlong residencies with CMA’s Teaching Artists. See some of the public artworks below – but you’ll have to stop by CMA to see the full show! On Display until September 25.
