Asymmetrical Balance | Make a Mobile with Alyssa Danna

The Contemporary invites you to connect with nature and create a unique piece of art in a mobile making workshop with exhibiting artist Alyssa Danna. Inspired by elements of Danna’s installation Tantalizing Middle Part, workshop participants will create a hanging mobile with both natural and repurposed materials which they can take home and display. Some materials will be gathered in a short foraging expedition along the river across the parking lot from the Contemporary. All other materials are provided, but participants are welcome to come with any objects they’d like to add to their artwork.

This event is free and open to everyone with registration. Space is limited, so sign up soon (below).
