Pop-Up Art School will teach kids ages 8+ about the French muralist Mantra, who paints giant trompe l'oeil insect shadow boxes on the sides of buildings around the world. The Art School will share images of the Harry C. Belcher Lepidoptera (butterfly & moth) Collection that's housed at Tufts Library, a scientific gem located right in our home state! Kids will then draw/paint their own realistic or imaginative insects and mount them in a paper shadow box. Registration is required. This event is for registrants age 8 to 14. Children must be accompanied by a caregiver. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Sturbridge Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
