Onions and Gumbo: An Art Program for Young People Ages 7-12
Presented by Steel City Coffeehouse at Steel City Coffeehouse
We’d like to think of this art program as an onion – enabling you to shed your boundaries, fears, doubts, etc. to get to the inner core of who you are as a person exploring art.
After living in the south, Erin Donnelly and Adrienne Hart, the creators of the program, have grown quite accustomed to gumbo. Gumbo is a traditional southern meal, originating in the south using whatever ingredients were easily available. This ‘ingredient diversity’ means that gumbo varies from state to state, town to town and household to household. It is ever-changing and it is a constant melting pot of many families. We hope to use this metaphor in our art sessions, constantly working with community members and their children to create an art-friendly environment and teach one another how to give and take from the community around us.
