On February 21 from 1-4 p.m., the museum will hold its semi-annual Lunar New Year Family Festival in the Stasney Center for Education.
In addition to cultural crafts, games, and refreshments, festival goers will enjoy a gallery scavenger hunt with prizes, a community wishing tree, and a special zone with activities just for toddlers!
This event is FREE and open to the public.
Since 2008, the museum has hosted a Student Art Show competition for grades 6-10. This competition is named Talking Back, and it provides local teens the opportunity to explore the OJAC collection of art and artifacts and create their own work in response.
In December, OJAC educators visited junior and senior high schools throughout Region 14 to present three artists from the museum's collection. Students explored each artist's work, focusing on the process and themes/ideas behind each piece and creating original artwork that communicated with it.
Talking Back is unique because it is both created and juried by teens. Each spring, the museum’s Teen Council jury and curate the show, as well as organize prizes and an exhibit opening reception. With help from education department staff, the teen volunteers consider various criteria as they critique each piece. This is one of the most important experiences in our Teen Council program, as the students gain valuable visual and critical thinking skills!
Join us for the opening of this special exhibition of student work at 2 pm on Saturday, February 28. Awards ceremony and refreshments will take place at 2:30 pm.
