Another Exciting Art Residency Coming to the Art Room

During this year’s Artist in Residency, every student at Banks Road will get to experience working with a professional artist during art class.  January 21^st through 28^th  we will be hosting the environmental artist Bryant Holsenbeck. The students will participate in her “Weaving Like a Bird” residency where they will use recycled materials, string, yarn, old sheets etc to weave a wall sculpture that will be installed in the school.

We need everyone’s help collecting fabric for us to use in our artwork! Please send in scrap fabric, old sheets or curtains, ribbons, and yarn! The more colorful, the better! If you would like to contribute but don’t have these things lying around, gift cards to fabric stores like Joanne’s Fabric would be very helpful and much appreciated as well.  Also, keep a look out for information on ways to volunteer to help with this residency.

I will collect all contributions. Please send contributions to Attn: Ms. Stephenson whether you send it through your student or bring it in to the office. Thank you for your support of Banks Road Visual Arts!
