LACMA in NoHo I
Making Accordion Fold Books
On-Site: Neighborhood partnerships with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art!
LACMA (The Los Angeles County Museum of Art) began its partnership with North Hollywood in August 2016 with Summer Nights, free art workshops for the community at the NoHo Plaza in the Arts District. This year in August 2017, we continue the tradition!
Setting up. Team member arrive at 4pm to make the “People Street” of NoHo Plaza ready for our accordion bookmaking workshop.
About 90 artmakers attend during the course of the evening, from 6 – 9 pm.
The range of the participants” creativity, and imaginative use of materials was breathtaking.
Whole families got into the act (of artmaking)
and fathers and sons worked together.
Some innovative artists took the materials at hand and created something entirely new, as
our wonderful DJ played accordion music, to work with the accordion-book-making event of the evening!
Friends shared…
Mothers and daughters spent hours…
Young artists played with stickers…
while others worked hard on collage.
Stories were told, and
the completed books exceeded the sum of their parts…
Which is what great art does, and always will do.
We need the art, and people need to make it.
An ever unfolding cycle.
