TimeTravel: Making for the Future

Join our April Vacation ArtLabs with teaching artist Willoughby Lucas Hastings, held Monday–Thursday mornings during April vacation week. Participants will create handmade cardboard time capsules collaged with images inspired by participants' dreams for our future. Folks will also collaborate on drawing and writing prompts to add keepsakes to their containers. Participants are invited to think about the skill sets and responsibilities they aspire to and their impact on our future ecosystem. Attendance for all 4 days is recommended in order to complete the construction of the time capsule and its contents.

Preparations to make in advance: 

• Get inspired: Visit us in-person, located in downtown Rockland.

• Dress for a mess: glue, paint, pieces galore!
  

Free and open to artists of all ages: youth ages 12+ may attend without adult supervision with limited spaces available, complete our registration form.
