Come take a look at our newest exhibition, Sea Change: The Art of Karen Hackenberg, and take part in her message to reduce waste. At this teen night, we will reuse art supplies and recycled materials to create props for costumes and cosplay. Instead of buying single-use plastic items for a cosplay or costume you might only wear once, get innovative and resourceful by using found items to upcycle your own creative design.
Your latest interest in a new character from a recent show might last less than a year, but that plastic gem you bought for the costume will last longer than your lifetime.
Templates, cardboard, fabric, and glue guns will be available to help kickstart your cosplay/costumes.
The Teen Open Studio is a groundbreaking initiative that invites teenagers to delve into the world of artmaking on the third Thursday of the month. The event happens during the Neighborhood Nights – which offers free admission to TAM from 5-8 pm.
The project is a unique space for young minds to explore their creativity, connect with peers, and embrace the joy of self-expression. The schedule provides an array of hands-on artmaking activities. Every session, from painting and drawing to crafts, is a chance to discover new techniques and mediums.
