Free visitor parking is in the farthest row of the parking lot from the front door, and the spaces closest to Garth Ave. Alternately, transportation is available from the MU campus via the Renew Mizzou Shuttle (PDF route map).

- June 25: Artistic Books – This class is about half full at the time of the post. Plenty of room to get in!
Look at and learn about books that are true works of art. Try your hand at making an altered and/or personally assembled art book, using old brochures, magazines, recyclables, and found items. - July 9: Masks in the Museum
Explore the world of masks from different cultures and times. Learn about the function of masks in general and why people all over the globe use them. Decorate your own Ibis mask. - July 16: Pyramid Power
Learn about Egyptian burial practices from the artifacts on view in the Museum. Then create an Egyptian artifact to take home. - July 23: Heroes and Gods
Mythology is everywhere in the Museum. Let’s find stories in art together and create a portrait of the hero from your favorite myth. - July 30: The Way Things Go
View the art film, “The Way Things Go”, about a kinetic sculpture. Then create your own mobile with parts that move in response to other parts. FCMo Note: This film is awesome! Highly recommended! - August 6: Henri Matisse & the Fauves: Painting with Scissors
Known for different types of art, Matisse’s cutouts are especially noteworthy. As a group we will assemble a combined, large artwork based on these.
