Spotlight on Educational Outreach

The Beach Museum of Art’s education department recently led one of their outreach programs, ARTFul Making, at the Riley County Seniors’ Service Center. Participants were encouraged to make a collage that represented their idea of a waterscape. The session was inspired by the exhibition Salt Air currently on view at the museum. Offered a variety of materials to use, guests created the beautiful and unique works featured below.

ARTFul Making is a monthly program offered at the senior center as well as Meadowlark and Via Christi. The session at the senior center is held on the third Tuesday of each month from 1:00-2:00p.m. The workshops are free to attend, and all materials are provided. Each month incorporates a different medium and a new source of inspiration. Community members seeking a creative, socially engaging afternoon are encouraged to attend. Sign-ups are appreciated but not required. For more information, please call the Riley County Seniors’ Service Center at (785) 537-4040 or email museum educator Kim Richards for more information kkrichards@ksu.edu.

Visit the Beach Museum of Art to enjoy a refreshing dose of Salt Air. The exciting, sea-centric exhibition is being installed now and opens March 15, 2022, in the Vanier Gallery. The artworks, curated from the museum’s permanent collection, were chosen for their depictions of the ocean. See the sky reflecting off the water. Witness a wave descending upon the sand. Experience these and many other unique visions of the sea.

Organized in conjunction with the American Libraries Association 2022 summer reading theme “Oceans of Possibility,” the exhibition will set the scene for the museum’s weekly summer art programs, tours and gallery activities.
