Suitcase Art

One artist/teacher, proficient in her art, arrives at your site with a cheerfully painted suitcase. She sets it on a table at the front of the room, and voila! Your class has an instant tabletop exhibit. From inside the suitcase, she will bring out all the tools and supplies for one class art project.

Available now:

  • Watercolors for all ages
  • Puppetry
  • Weaving
  • Collage
  • Poetry

Important Note: Teachers, please take the time to read the bios, which will be sent ahead of time with the list of recyclables, to your classes. It helps our visit immensely when students are "built up" for the residency, to know that they are working side by side with professional artists who are visiting the school to share their talents especially for them. By the time we arrive at a school, many people will have worked to make our visit happen. Students should be instructed to treat us likewise, and to understand that they are about to experience an extraordinary event. These visits are always magical. Expect the unexpected.
