Our New Class is Going to be B.O.S.S.!

We're revamping Inspiration Nation at Baker Hunt with a new name--B.O.S.S. (Big Open Story Studio). Please look at older posts on this blog to see the awesome projects we have done in the past. Here's a longer description than the one that appears in the Fall Catalog:


Big Open Story Studio (B.O.S.S.!)

Project Managers: Annie Brown, Christian Schmit, Lindsey Whittle
Ages: 6-?

Imagine an open studio environment where participants of all walks of life put head and hands together to create a room-sized, narrative installation project! The intended atmosphere of this studio is highly communal and collaborative, a class without a traditional teacher, but one where participants share a wide range of ideas and skills and learn from each other. At the core of the studio are kids and their parents, supported by a rotating cast of visiting artists representing a wide range of artmaking. The project will begin with a period of story ideation, writing and sketching and move into planning, construction and detailing. The finished project will exist as a large-scale, narrative installation piece, essentially an epic story come to life, with multitudinous scenes that exist simultaneously in one place. (Think model train display gone wild.) When the project is done, it will be shown as part of Covington’s First Friday gallery hop, with the potential for hundreds of visitors. Concepts explored in the studio include brainstorming, writing, sketching and planning, sculpting, construction, painting, sound, and lighting. Participants may work at any time during suggested studio hours, or additional hours at discretion of project managers.

Studio Hours:
Wednesdays, 1pm-5pm
Saturdays, 10am-2pm

We are so excited for this class--hope to see you in September!
