Do you have an aspiring artist in your family? In Art Explorers, our monthly program for ages 8-12, kids get to explore art history through hands-on creative projects.
In each session kids learn about a famous historical or contemporary artist. They discover the most important and fun facts about the artist and the iconic style they use. Then kids get to try out the featured artistic style for themselves.
Library Assistant Mirissa Walters leads the program. She says, “My hope is that in creating something they can take with them, kids will retain and appreciate what they’ve learned about the artists and their works.”
The next Art Explorers meets Friday, June 13 at 4 p.m. in the Library’s Jones Meeting Center. Registration is required; click here to sign up.
During our Summer Reading Program, which runs from Monday, June 2-Saturday, July 26, we’re focusing Art Explorers on local artists.
We’ll learn about Johnson City’s own Jason Flack at the June session of Art Explorers. Flack has become one of our region’s most beloved, prolific artists and a vocal advocate for the local art scene. His signature style—bright colors and strong black outlines—exhibits a creative daring and energy.
Registration is required for Art Explorers. You can sign up here for the session on Friday, June 13.
