Join in for Open Studio, a monthly drop-in program designed to help you connect with your creative side. This program encourages participants to engage—in guided or freestyle ways—with materials inspired by the themes, techniques, and media of a featured work of art. This fall, we’ll focus on Quetzalcoatl by David Ocelotl Garcia. Each month, a different project will allow for new ways to connect with this work. Our Studio Host will be available to guide you through the month’s project or support you in your own creative endeavors. All materials are provided. Drop in when you can and stay as long as you like. Parking is available in the Visitor Lot immediately north of the Sculpture Park for a fee during the week (before 4:30 p.m.). Free two-hour parking is available in the Eddy Street Commons Parking Garage or along Angela Blvd. After 4:30 p.m. and on weekends, parking is free and available in any non-gated campus lot. If traveling via South Bend Transpo, take the No.7 bus and use the Eddy St. Commons stop.   Originally published at raclinmurphymuseum.nd.edu.
