The Center for Maine Contemporary Art (CMCA) invites artists of all ages to explore the visual, functional, and metaphorical dimensions of maps in this month’s ArtLab for All Ages workshop on Saturday, July 6, from 2 to 4pm.
Taking inspiration from the exhibition, Dan Mills | Human Topographies, ArtLab participants will delve into a variety of exercises that reinterpret maps as a personal expression of self. Using a selection of found and discarded maps, and other collage materials, participants will create new mixed media works that reflect their personal point of view and place in the world.
ArtLab for All Ages takes place on the first Saturday of every month at CMCA, 21 Winter Street, Rockland, and is always free and open to all. Support for ArtLab is provided in part by The Bob Crewe Foundation, The Cricket Foundation, First National Bank, Margaret E. Burnham Trust, Milton & Sally Avery Arts Foundation, Morton-Kelly Charitable Trust, Nellie Leaman Taft Foundation, Stephen & Tabitha King Foundation, and individual donors.
CMCA is a contemporary arts institution presenting year-round exhibitions, engaging events, and educational programs for all ages.
Location: 21 Winter Street, Rockland, Maine. Hours: November through May, Wednesday – Saturday, 10am to 5pm; Sunday, 12 to 5pm; June through October, Monday – Saturday, 10am to 5pm, Sunday, 12 to 5pm. Closed Federal holidays.
