The artists eagerly got involved with the planning of projects for their session. The artists were all excited to participate not only to share their skills, but also to interact with the attendees around something near to their hearts. Instead of just a recreation focus, the art sessions brought people together in the outdoors to explore their creativity.Įach art session featured local artists who brought samples of their work and talked with participants about their process and skills. Additionally, by the sessions being held at Shadyside Park, we were able to activate the park in a different way. In a city that is not able to offer much in the way of enrichment activities due to budget constraints, these sessions offered a welcome gathering opportunity. Supported by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs grant program, the art sessions helped bring arts and crafts into the hands of citizens of Mount Clemens to come together, create, and talk about ways to enhance their community through art. Advancing Macomb hosted a series of community art sessions in the park to get the community’s creativity engaged while community partners upped the activity.
JUST PAINT IT MACOMB FULL
