Most artists are savers or pack rats--and for good reason! Artists use and throw away so many items that can be--and should be--reused or re-purposed. What better way to make use of discarded items than to make new art with them?! Art Mart and The Artist Within have teamed up again to sponsor ArtCamp, a series of four summer camps for young artists between the ages of 6 and 12. These artists will display their artwork made from recycled objects at an ArtCamp Show this August at Gallery 308.
The ArtCamp Show opens on First Thursday, August 6, and runs through August 8. ArtCampers will create art from objects normally thrown away. Imagination abounds when these artists are asked to create something new.
The ArtCamp artists are proud of their work, so please plan to join them at the opening reception on August 6 at Gallery 308, located at 308 East Main in downtown Muncie. Admission is free.
Gallery 308 is a 501(c)(3) community art gallery which exists to provide exhibition space for artists, encourage innovative work and serve the community as a cultural and educational resource. The Gallery opens a new exhibit on First Thursdays. Contributions to Gallery 308 are tax-deductible. For more information about gallery hours, volunteer and donor opportunities, please call 765-289-8575.
