Once again, New Museum Los Gatos (NUMU) is excited to partner with LGS Recreation to deliver this week long art camp for young artists to learn new painting skills and leave their mark on the Los Gatos Footbridge for all to see! Participants will learn art techniques and fundamentals, and the history of Los Gatos. We’ll explore the museums art exhibitions and historic collections, walk the Los Gatos Creek trail, learn about local flora and fauna, visit local Los Gatos historic landmarks, and even meet some key town officials. Each day we’ll focus on a new topic and by the end of the week students will have completed a one-of-kind painting reflecting the theme “Capturing Life in Los Gatos.” The artwork that will be digitally photographed, printed, and installed by the Town of Los Gatos on the Forbes Mill footbridge. This is a highly engaging interactive art and history experience that you don’t want to miss. And, each student will be given a take-home art kit.
Returning students welcome. Each student may have no more than 2 artworks on the bridge at the same time.
