Future Plans
Art Machine looks forward to establishing a home to host exhibitions and hands-on art opportunities for children all over the tri-state region.
During the summer of 2004 Art Machine was forced to vacate it's gallery located at the Crestview Hills Mall due to a major renovation of the mall. Art Machine continues to work on locating a permanent space and raising funds for rent. If you're interested in helping Art Machine in this endeavor, please click here.
Art Machine's home will provide the following:
| GALLERIES | STUDIOS | TECH LAB | |
| Global Children's Art | Artist in Residence | Animation Studio | |
| Art on Loan | 2D/3D Studios | Production Studio | |
| Regional Art | Zero to K | Learning Lab | |
| Scholastic Art Awards | Refrigerator Gallery |
Art Machine's programs are designed to :
-
Implement the core curriculum guides for the states of Ohio and Kentucky in all key subject areas through the arts.
-
Enrich our youth through cross-curricular, hands on activities in an environment which encourages the sharing of ideas.
-
Encourage curiosity, creativity, experimentation, the development of critical thinking and heightened sensory and perceptive skills.
-
Meet the needs of a diverse audience of children of all ages and physical abilities.
-
Enable and empower all children, regardless of social or economic condition, to make and enjoy the visual arts; to respond to their creative intuition and to respond to those of others.
-
Familiarize our youth with other cultures so they gain skills that will help them respect our multi-faced community.
-
Introduce teachers and children to the value and availability of educational cultural resources in our community.
Below are links to a few children's art museums in other parts of the country. These museums are examples of what Art Machine's hopes to bring to the tri-state.
