July 8–26 • 3 One-week Sessions • 10AM–3PM:
Weaving Yarns, Telling Tales & Creating Chronicles
This summer at the American Visionary Art Museum, we will be hosting our first ever Visionary Experience. For three consecutive weeks in the month of July we will be opening up our doors to middle school students for this opportunity to enjoy experiences with Visionary artists, fascinating artwork, and tons of hands-on creating and collaborating in puppetry, theatre, writing, visual arts and more! Spend time with AVAM staff and our visiting Visionary Artists to create individual and group works relating to the ideas involved in the Telling of Tales. The three weeks (which can be experienced individually or as a whole!) will conclude with a Visionary Salon where students will be invited to showcase their creations and performances. Families and friends will be invited to spend the day at AVAM and immerse themselves in the students' Visionary tales.
