Just My Imagination
Just My Imagination, a year-long community outreach program from the Georgia Museum of Art, is an exciting way for groups to discover their creativity and learn from local artists who represent the best that Georgia has to offer. Available free of charge to community centers and libraries throughout the state, these workshops are designed to provide participants with a meaningful exploration into the imaginative side of art at your own location. Your organization may host any one of the four workshops developed to spark the imaginations of both young and old, giving individuals a basic foundation from which they can build their skills long after the class has ended for ongoing activity and enjoyment.
Just My Imagination workshops are recommended for groups of all ages. The instructors are experienced in adapting their classes to meet the needs of the groups in their age and skill level. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
This program is sponsored by the Turner Family Foundation and by Sun Trust Directed Funds: Nell Warren and William Simpson Elkins Foundation and the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art.
The workshops are held on Saturdays between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. To request a brochure or schedule a workshop, visit this page or call the Georgia Museum of Art's education department at (706) 542-4662. Reservations are taken on a first-come, first-serve basis as funding permits.
