About The Event

Every third Saturday of each month, stop by the Ames Family Atrium between noon and 4:00 p.m. to get a firsthand look at the art-making process. Each session will provide you the opportunity to engage and interact with a different Northeast Ohio maker during pop-up demonstrations and activities. See their work unfold and learn how artists create. Explore a related selection of authentic objects from the CMA’s education art collection in a pop-up Art up Close session. See, think, and wonder.

Join artist Joanne Arnett in designing your own powerful, patterned costume. Take inspiration from portraits in the exhibition The Tudors: Art and Majesty in Renaissance England, a period-accurate costume handmade and worn by Kerry Mackert, and textiles and objects from the education art collection.

This event is organized in conjunction with the CMA exhibition The Tudors: Art and Majesty in Renaissance England.
