Print Story | Email Story
North Adams - Go fly a kite during spring break at Kidspace at MASS MoCA! Along with extended hours during spring break, Kidspace will hold a special kite-making workshop on Friday, April 23, from 10 A.M. to noon. Kidspace will be open from noon to 4 P.M. every day from Saturday, April 17, through Sunday, April 25. Pre-registration is required for the kite workshop. The cost for the workshop is $10 per kite (a family may purchase one kite to work on together, or one for each child to work on individually). The workshop is appropriate for children ages 5 and up, and all children must be accompanied by an adult. Kidspace’s current exhibition, Wind Farm, features a sea of kinetic sculptures against a backdrop of large photos of wind turbines. The artwork offers myriad perspectives on wind and movement. After viewing the exhibition, visitors can investigate the science and art of wind by making their own moving art work. A resource area for children of all ages features books, music, and videos about wind and wind energy. During spring break, visitors are also invited to celebrate Earth Week by adding to a collaborative sculpture. The group exhibition features Carrie Baker of Montpelier, Vermont, who takes evocative photos of wind turbines throughout the country; Connecticut-based Tim Prentice whose colorful kinetic works playfully move with the air that surrounds them; Pedro S. De Movellan of East Chatham, N.Y. whose wave-shaped sculpture, created especially for this exhibition, captivates visitors with its gentle, surprising motion; and William R. Bergman of Albany, N.Y. who designs sculptures that allow visitors to create wind using innovative mechanical devices and hand cranks to bring his work to life. To pre-register for the kite-making workshop, call Kidspace at 664-4481 ext. 8131. Kidspace is proud to offer these special hours and kite-making workshop as part of the 2004 Williamstown Community Earth Week Celebration, sponsored by Wild Oats Community Market and Greensense at Williams College. Kidspace’s regular public hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 12 to 4 P.M. through June 20 and 12 to 4 P.M. daily from June 21 through September 6. Admission to Kidspace is always free. Kidspace is a joint program of the Williams College Museum of Art, the Sterling & Francine Clark Art Institute, and MASS MoCA, and is funded in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council (a state agency and the National Endowment for the Arts (a federal agency).
