Open House

All the Art Center has to offer on September 10, 2010 6-8 p.m. at our annual Open House! All of the Art Center’s studio classrooms will be abuzz with faculty and student demonstrations. And if they want to, visitors may even join in and make art themselves:

  • Take a turn at the wheel and put your mark on a ceramic piece being created by Art Center students
  • The printmaking studio will allow visitors to create and take home their own print of the Twisted House
  • Visitors will learn the art of jewelry-making by fusing and forging metal
  • An Art Center instructor will help people get a feel for the brush by creating their own watercolor

No experience is necessary, and is even preferred.

And if visitors don’t want to see or make art, there are plenty of opportunities to purchase art:

  • Student-made ceramic bowls ($5; $10) with a scoop of Yats chili
  • Frank M. Basile Studio Shop sidewalk sale
  • Artwork in a variety of mediums by student and faculty artists (see Exhibitions for full listing)

    Yats is back! This popular Art Center fundraiser in the Ruth Lilly Library features Yats chili served in student-made ceramic bowls. Proceeds go towards the ceramics department at the Art Center. Bowls will be selling for $5 and $10 (depending on the size). But don’t wait until the last minute; the bowls and chili sold out last year.
