Crazy Puppet People From the Bronx!

Making collage puppets in the LCAG rotunda.  Building designed by Marcel Breuer.

Hi Everyone! Long time no see.  I recently started a full-time job as the Education Curator for Lehman College Art Gallery (LCAG) in the Bronx.  Our current exhibit Space Invaders, 
guest curated 

Tardy Mardy by Jennifer is not watching her weight!

by Karin Bravin is all about site-specific installation.  It's been an exciting challenge developing programming for Bronx Public Schools based on the contemporary art work in the gallery, so I stopped blogging for a bit, but now I'm back! 

Part of my mandate is to reach out to the diverse Bronx communities, so we do a FREE art day every other month on Saturday mornings called Family Focus Day. This includes a free tour of our current exhibit and a hands-on art activity.  My first Family Focus was in November and we made collage puppet people based on the installation People by artist Halley Zien.  I've included a FREE instruction book for you to use at home (just click on the link in our newsletter).  Stay tuned . . . I've got a DIY print-making post coming soon.
