The Marion Art Center has added a second fall session of “Art in the Afternoon” for ages 7-10.

The Children’s Art Lab class runs Fridays from 3:00-4:00pm in the MAC Studio. The four-class session will run on Nov. 6, 13, 20, and Dec. 4. Cost is $80 for MAC members and $95 for nonmembers.

Students will explore 3-D projects using cardboard, tape, clay, paint, and paper to make innovative sculptural art work! 

Class will be held outdoors on the MAC lawn if at all possible. Otherwise, students will be indoors in the MAC studio. Students must wear masks and will be asked to wash and sanitize hands before beginning class. 

Class size will be limited to maintain adequate social distancing in compliance with state regulations. Sippican School students can come directly to the MAC for Art Lab. Parents must provide release forms to Sippican School for children to be walked over by a MAC volunteer or staff member. All other students may be dropped off at 3 p.m. at the MAC. Parent pick-up is at 4 p.m.

In addition, instructor Catherine Carter will lead another session of her 5-week course, Botanical Drawing. The adult program will run on Tuesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m., Nov. 10 through Dec. 8. In this class for beginners or intermediates, students will use colored pencils to explore the complex shapes and intricate surfaces of botanical subject matter, with a focus on value, color, and composition. 

The cost is $145 for MAC members and $165 for nonmembers, including the $10 materials fee (to cover cost of fresh arrangements weekly). Students must wear a mask while inside the building. 

The number of students will be limited to allow adequate physical space in compliance with Massachusetts safety guidelines.
