Welcome to ART Play
Located inside the GMA is ART Play, our classroom and activities center. It houses art classes, interactive activities, and events coordinated by our Education and Outreach Coordinator, Jill Edwards.
Activities
ART Play offers several artist-themed activities for children of all ages. Interactive stations pay homage to Wassily Kandinsky, Pablo Picasso, Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, and Andy Warhol.
There’s even what we like to call our “Selfie Station”
The “Selfie Station” features a mirror and dry erase board so that students may create their self-portraits
Outreach Opportunities
ART Play is a great place to bring field trips and Scout Troops for artistic learning. Some classes are taught on-site. To inquire about bringing your group or having a classroom visit, contact Jill Edwards at jedwards@cityofgadsden.com 256-546-7365
