Swan’s Waterworks kicks off August 25

Swan's Waterworks  |  Build Me a River!

Artist Gregory Gavin, who has led MOCHA's river 
camps in past summers, will be creating a 
site-specific water sculpture in our courtyard. 
The central feature will be a stream of cascading 
water flowing from the  museum interior out into 
tennis court sized courtyard. The community will 
be invited to contribute to the sculpture by 
building miniature cities, landscapes or abstract elements.

Swan’s Waterworks Launch Party

August 25 | 4-6 p.m. | Free and open to the public

Sign up now for Art for Educators

Sept 29, 30 & Oct 1  |  $250

Art for Educators is a three-day, hands-on 
workshop for classroom teachers and youth 
developers interested in learning the basics of 
integrating art into the classroom and community 
setting. This is also an excellent workshop for 
artists interested in developing their teaching 
skills and linking their practice to classroom 
environments, and for art teachers wishing to 
learn new techniques and explore new ideas for their curriculum.
