A few members came up with the idea two years ago. The idea was to have a show featuring members artwork and artwork of their children. It was then rightly modified to members artwork and any childs artwork. The first show in 2006 was good, but this year we want to make it better. Our goal is to really highlight the experience of the two age groups working together. The working relationship between the two age groups sparked the interest of the Stephen L. Hickman Family. And, it was this relationship concept that motivated them to sponsor the exhibition.
Part one of this idea calls for volunteers. We have some but we need more ASAP. We need volunteers to help instruct children who are enrolled in the Adrian College/YMCA Youth Art Program for one day only (Feb 3rd or Feb 10th). For volunteer information click here.
The childrens work created during your one day workshop will be matted and framed for display during the Lenawee Artists of All Ages Exhibition, June 21 - July 21.
Part two of this idea will require you to create one or more pieces of art in response to the childrens work. And, that's all there is to it. We'll take it from there.

LCVA Volunteer Info for Youth Art Program
Information for Lenawee All Artists One-on-One Activity
1. You have or will select either Saturday Feb 3 or Sat Feb 10. It will take place from 9:30- noon. Right now we have more people on the 3rd if it doesn’t matter to you.
2. Bring most of your own supplies and tools but if you need basic stuff or large equipment like an extension cord, easel, paper towels, bandsaw, a vice, etc let me know so I can make sure to have it on hand for you or make sure it is working correctly. If you could let me know a week in advance that would be great. Call me at (517)263-9548, 264-3901 or email pbenio@adrian.edu
3. Plan on being at the Art and Design Dept, top floor, Mahan Hall, Adrian College campus with enough time to get situated and set up. You will be in a studio that is most conducive to your activity. Pi will be there at 8am both mornings, so come between 8 and 9am.
4. You will show the child, who could be between 1st and 8th grade, how to work in your particular media and technique and help them to produce at the very least one piece. Of the works that they produce, you will keep what you think are the 1 or 2 best. These will become the works that you will use as inspirations for a work you will create for the exhibition at the LCVA Gallery June21-July 21, (work due the week prior). Both your work and the child’s will be presented together in the gallery. If you think your project is best for a particular age group let me know asap. Also, if you could leave work that needs to be matted with us that day, I will get it matted within the next week and leave it at the LCVA Gallery for you to pick up so you have plenty of time to use it as your muse. Just remember that it is the work that will be displayed and you will need to bring it when you bring your work.
For those members asking others to participate, questions to ask:
1. date
2. media (we are trying to get a range and already have two of each of these media: monoprints, metal, clay)
3. best age
4. what basic stuff can be supplied for you (see #2)
5. get the above info to Pi ASAP!
