The LeClaire Community Library is hosting New York pop artist and author Michael Albert for an all-ages hands-on collage workshop August 1 at 4pm. The venue has changed and will be held at the LeClaire Fire Station Community Room (201 N. 15th Street).
Albert has developed a traveling Pop Art Enrichment Program & Hands-On Collage Workshop for kids (school age & up), teens, adults & as a multi-generational event called the “Modern Pop Art Experience” which he has brought to more than 1,000 schools, libraries, museums, art festivals and special events in most of the United States and in Europe. The art is made by cutting up colorful cereal boxes and rearranging the pieces like a mosaic on cardboard. His work has been described as a cross between Pop Art, Cubism & Recycling. Albert calls this style “cerealism.” The program finishes with a free signed poster giveaway. Albert brings about 20 different prints for each participant to choose from as a special gift for coming to the event.
We have room to spread out in air-conditioned comfort in the LeClaire Fire Station Community Room while we create our collages. Call 563-289-6007 ahead of time if you can, so we can estimate the number of attendees.
