Tweens Create with the Elisabet Ney Museum

During this session, we will experiment with carving sculptures using a variety of materials. Participants will receive all of the necessary supplies along with guided instructions. There is no fee and attendance is open to youth ages 8 through 12 years old.

This activity is part of the Elisabet Ney Museum's brand new program, Breaking the Mold: Mobile Art Crates. The crate, itself, and the inside contents were designed by artist, Tammie Rubin, as a way to illuminate Elisabet Ney's sculpting processes while enlisting STEAM focused teaching methodologies.

The museum's education staff will bring the Breaking the Mold program into local fourth grade classrooms this fall. To learn more about this initiative, please contact our Education Coordinator at bGluZHNheSAhIGJhcnJhcyB8IGF1c3RpbnRleGFzICEgZ292.

This project has been funded by a grant from the Dorothy C. Radgowski Learning Through Women’s Achievement in the Arts Grant Program, provided through the Where Women Made History and the Historic Artists' Homes and Studios programs of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Summerlee Foundation.
