Artlab Summer 2015

MAY 21 TO AUGUST 16, 2015

Explore the new exhibitions hands-on in ARTlab! The Butler Gallery (ARTlab) is a space for all ages to discover current exhibiting artists and their processes through interactive activities, fun facts, art making stations and reading materials provided by the Virginia Beach Public Library.

Learn about Michelle Erickson’s ceramic process by examining the molds and tools used to create her delicate works of art. Touch examples of ceramic ware in the different stages of the firing process. See what inspires her and create your own inspiration board. Play a game of art telephone inspired by the work of artistic duo Rob and Nick Carter by using images to pass along information to other visitors. Think like artist Eric Standley and explore mathematics and patterns as you create a collaborative work of art on our tessellation puzzle wall.
