Amherst Community Arts Center at Paradise City Northampton
May 24-26, 2008
Celebrate the Earth!
It's a gigantic
globe in Morgan 2!
'The planet is a gift, let's take care of it' is the theme for a communal
sculpture project orchestrated by the Amherst Community Arts Center. The Art
Center has been collecting used gift wrap, ribbons and bows since December, so
there should be a veritable mountain of colorful, glittery recycled materials
available. We'll start with a huge wood, wire and paper maché globe. Then kids
and adults alike are invited to create the different continents and bodies of
water in a three-dimensional collage, using color-coordinated pieces of paper
and ribbon.
Working with the entire planet highlights the idea that taking care of the
environment and dealing with global warming needs to happen on both a global and
local level. Paradise City's last project with ACAC, the 'Farms of the Pioneer
Valley' mural, now hangs in the Bangs Community Center in Amherst.
2008 programming at Amherst Community Arts Center is funded in part by grants from:
Xeric
Foundation
