Pollock at the LIC Flea = A Hit Once Again!

Thank you all families who came out, we hope to see you in the  near future.  And thank you to the organizers of the Flea for having us!  The day was a hit.

Don’t miss out on Claes Oldenburg at MoMA

We at CCA are crazy about Claes Oldenburg, so we were particularly excited to hear about MoMA’s exhibition, Claes Oldenburg: The Street and The Store.

Claes Oldenburg The Store

Oldenburg is known for his depictions of everyday objects, often as sculptures.  This exhibition looks at the beginning of his career, when he began to create the food sculptures he is so well-known for today.  The Street is comprised of objects made from cardboard, burlap, and newspaper.  The Store is made up of brightly painted sculptures and reliefs.

The exhibition, which runs through August 5th, is an excellent opportunity for children to imagine everyday objects in a new light. How would you build your own food sculpture? Would the hamburger be blue or green? What would you use?

Parents Love Museum Adventures

Here’s what parents are saying about Museum Adventures:

“Your tours offer what many parents want to give to their kids and may not know exactly how.”

“You do a great job introducing sophisticated material to the kids– without dumbing it down nor having it go over their heads.  That’s a tricky balance and you do it well!”

“Claire is amazing and really knows her stuff when it comes to art theory and art history. You can tell she really loves working with kids and loves art.”

Contact us to join one of our upcoming tours and see why we’re the best art program in the city!
