FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, AUG 9, 10 & 11, 12-5 PM

Hundreds of synthetic cork will be upcycled into a sculpture as we attach them to a giant globe, creating the beautiful world of our dreams and becoming more aware of the materials we use as humans and artists. Learn, teach, and grow here as we also create the mind garden sculpture, adding flowers for each idea we share with each other in this space of creativity and eco-consciousness

Events for All Ages, Free and Open to the Public

ABOUT HABITAT for ARTISTS

Founded by Simon Draper, Habitat for Artists (HFA) is a collective project that uses the idea of the artist’s studio as a catalyst for mutual engagement between artists and communities. The “habitats” are small, temporary, 6’ x 6’ studios installed for experiencing art and connecting with the process of artists engaging in creative work. HFA invites artists to work in these small, temporary studios. While exploring their own creative process, artists engage in active dialogues with a new audience. All are invited to participate in this new interaction and discussion about art, the artist’s role, as well as topics which are pertinent or relevant to the community.

Support for Habitat for Artists at WAAM is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo.

Additional support provided by the Klock Kingston Foundation,
Hyman J. & Florence Hammerman Family Foundation & individual donors.
