Here at the Garfield Park Arts Center, we have several drawing benches placed throughout our gallery and we invite visitors the chance to sketch or doodle if they feel inspired to do so. Often, we find drawings left behind, and enjoy interpreting what the artist was thinking.

We would like to share these “found” masterpieces with the rest of the world, and so we are starting a series of blog posts entitled “Found Art Friday”. Each week, we will post a new drawing that has been discovered in our gallery or classroom.

This week’s entry has been coined “Potato Peeler Man”. Stay tuned for next week’s treasure!

Aug 25 – Sept 23   

A stroll through the GPAC’s Annual Student Exhibition will inspire you to explore the concepts of warm and cool colors in the Arts for All room as you create small “paintings” using brightly colored tissue paper and glue. We’ll create interesting textures and fun designs that you can take home and display.  No brushes required!

Buy a movie pass and see 6 movies for the price of 5, plus free popcorn!

This summer, join film historian and preservationist Eric Grayson as he presents “A tribute to Ray Harryhausen (1920- )”, the animator who paved the way for today’s special effects extravaganzas.

What a week! Imagine a camp where all you do is play with paint. Sixteen kids signed up to do just that.

Inspired by Nature Camp was filled with activities that involved dirt, animals, leaves, sunlight, microbes, and lots of other fun stuff! We took advantage of the fact that our facility is located in a beautiful park, and let Mother Nature be our muse.

We had the privilege of hosting a very unique camp this year. Our campers were challenged to create artworks that tipped both sides of the scale.
