Free "Take Out" for Kids at the Brevard Art Museum
MELBOURNE, FL - The Brevard Art Museum is offering a hands-on art activity for kids every Thursday through the Take Out exhibition for free. Each week from 4 to 5 p.m. there will be a different art activity featuring a take out box, the basis of the exhibition currently on display. Children will explore the surface, interior, and many methods of embellishment and constructions through a different activity each week. Every Thursday through July 2, 2009 the free hands-on kids' activity will bring a new artful learning experience. No registration required.
On Display: Take Out
Using a restaurant take out container as a jumping off point, artists were invited to create artwork with few limitations. This national invitational exhibition allowed artists of all levels to participate. The one common denominator was the take out container. The range of responses demonstrates that though everyone started from the same beginning, each journey was unique.
