MBACC Hosts Collaborative Sculpture Project for Children May 17th & May 18th

Come be inspired by Hungarian artist Gyöngy Laky (www.gyongylaky.com) stick and tape sculptures and help us create our very own collaborative sculpture that will live at Mother Brook Arts & Community Center (MBACC) once it’s completed. MBACC is working with Alice Vogler, Arts Program Manager at the Boston Children’s Museum, and Faith Johnson, artist, to provide families a creative experience during Dedham Open Studios at the MBACC.

The community art project will take place on Saturday, May 17th from 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM and Sunday, May 18th from 11:00 AM – 3:00PM.  Children of all ages are encouraged to participate and add their own personal touch to the sculpture.  This activity is free and open to the public.

“Our goal is to bring our community together to produce a work of art that is representative of the spirit at Mother Brook Arts & Community Center. It will be exciting to see it develop over the weekend.” Jean Ford Webb, Executive Director
