In conjunction with the newest exhibit at the Lubeznik Center for the Arts “Size Matters: Scale in contemporary Art”, featuring artwork both large and small, families are invited to make “BIG” art on July 7 & 14 in the NIPSCO Art Education Studios. Materials are provided for both events and we request a $3 donation. Find inspiration from artists who use size as part of their expression: Sixty foot long dresses, a four foot tall baby head, itsy bitsy paintings and knitting rope with needles carved from building lumber.

Big Drawings for Kids – Have you ever wished your paper was larger so you could fit your drawing onto one sheet? If you are tired of drawing off the edges of the sheet this is your day! Parents and children can collaborate on drawings, or kids can create their own from 2:00 – 3:30 pm ( Chicago time) on July 7.

Big Hats for Kids – Create large crazy hats! Kids can come in and make head-gear with the help of other family members from 2:00 – 3:30 pm ( Chicago time) on July 14. Everyone is welcome to join in! Create a theme for the family or make your own using paper, feathers and paint. Wear your “play” clothes or bring a smock to cover up.

“Size Matters” is on exhibit through July 15 and is sponsored by a friend of the Lubeznik Center. Regular gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday 10 am – 5 pm, Saturday & Sunday 11am – 4pm, and closed Mondays. The Lubeznik Center is located at 101 W. 2^nd St. in Michigan City IN.
