Snowflake Festival and Open House at Brookline Arts Center

The Brookline Arts Center is pleased to host its annual Snowflake Festival and Open House Saturday, January 3, 2015 from 12:00-4:00pm. Join us for an afternoon filled with artwork, activities and a birthday cake to celebrate our 50th Anniversary!

The annual event provides the community with the opportunity to watch demonstrations and participate in free art making activities. This is a great time to learn about the BAC’s class offerings and history as well as meet our board, staff and talented faculty. Activities will include a cookie decorating station, paper creations, a snowman creation station and more! We will also hold a pottery sale and will have a special discount for students who register for Winter or February Vacation classes during the event.

Two free workshops for ages 12+ will be offered during the Snowflake Festival from 1:00-4:00pm. We will hold a bangle workshop for students to learn how to form, texture and solder a stack of brass and copper bangle bracelets in one day! We will hammer, twist and polish bracelets. This workshop is perfect for beginners! We will also hold a Monoprint workshop. This workshop offers an introduction to Monoprinting, a method of printmaking that produces unique work, often through spontaneous beauty! We will explore various techniques including oil painting, adding collage elements and texture imprinting.

The Brookline Arts Center’s Student Exhibition will also be on view in the BAC’s gallery for a preview.
