Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, the Palo Alto Art Center will conduct a residency project with artist Jill Miller to engage local parents in a series of three two-day workshops, designed to introduce art as a therapeutic and empowering tool for self-expression. Participants will create soft sculptures modeled after objects they have deemed too dangerous for their children to play with. The project includes a free Parent Day and a public exhibition of participant artwork.

Organization Summary

The Art Center believes that its mission is best achieved by connecting the experience of viewing art with direct involvement in making art. Core programs include exhibitions and exhibition-related community programming; arts education programs for school children, both in-school and at the Art Center; a Studio Art Program offering high-quality arts instruction, classes, and workshops in a variety of creative media for adults and teens; and the Children’s Fine Art Program, providing classes, summer camps, and other programs for preschool through middle school-aged youth.
