Proof of Existence: Artifacts made in community
Join artist and Oakland Road Art Club founder Katey Darago for a month-long community artist residency exploring creativity, sculpture, and the possibilities of found materials. Through weekly workshops for tweens, teens, and families, participants will transform reclaimed and upcycled objects into imaginative works of art. Artwork created throughout the residency will come together in a collaborative community exhibition during Halloween weekend at The 1978 Maplewood Arts Center. No experience necessary—just bring your ideas and imagination!
Friday Night Workshops (Tweens & Teens)
Fridays 10/2, 10/9, 10/16, 10/23 and 10/30 from 7pm-10pm
These open-ended workshops invite tweens and teens to explore big ideas through sculpture using upcycled, reclaimed and found materials.
Each session begins with a creative invitation, and participants are encouraged to experiment and follow their own ideas.
Artwork created throughout the month will become part of a collaborative gallery exhibition during Halloween weekend. No experience necessary!
