This Saturday we are excited to be hosting another installment of our popular Kids Open Studios workshops series.

From Neil Young to The Stooges to The Dandy Warhols and Funkadelic, come get groovy with us and choose from our stock of vintage records to paint on, collage over or alter to create a unique piece of art! This workshop is on a drop in basis from 12:30PM-3:30PM, $5 studio fee/free for SPACE members! Suggested age is 3 and up, but all ages welcome!

If you’re looking for a full day of art-making, head over to the Portland Museum of Art from 11AM-1PM where South Portland based contemporary artist Karen Gelardi will transform the exhibition space into a workspace and bring the art of Gathering Up the Fragments for families and children of all ages.

Killer Joe director Sean Mewshaw put together this excellent time lapse video to give us all a look at how he (and the whole cast and crew) transforms the set from a tidy box up against a wall of the gallery to a highly detailed (and quite convincing) set.

You have just a few more chances to come out and see this production if you still haven’t!
