More Art brings artists into the classroom to collaborate, work with, and learn from the students rather than to 'teach' them. Their latest project is “The Mysterious House of Colors” by Justin Berry and Clinton Middle School's students.

Justin Berry gave students a chance to curate and produce an art exhibition. After visiting galleries in their neighborhood the students were asked to think of objects and environments that could become part of a compelling art exhibition. Berry organized a mixture of commissioned and pre-existing works for this exhibition based on the drawings the children produced.

Justin Berry Then asked a second group of children to think of what the images of both the exhibition and the previous group’s drawings might represent. The goal is to present an art exhibit about the stories inspired by the art.

Visit the Waymaker Gallery to discover the exhibition.
Reception October 31, 7-9 pm
Open: Oct 31-Nov 22, 2009
