The Artist’s Laboratory

Come experiment and play in The Artist’s Laboratory at The Pollack Family Learning Center! Family visitors will experience an art-making space inspired by elements of magic, science, and wonder present in the artist Ali Banisadr’s work. Much like an artist, an alchemist seeks to change ordinary materials into something extraordinary. Ali Banisadr is deeply captivated by this idea, weaving it into the complex worlds he creates.

Dive deeply into the materials and processes in Ali Banisadr: The Alchemist by exploring unconventional painting tools and musical mark-making, experimenting with tracing layers of art history, and constructing sculptural creatures to add to our collaborative exhibition wall! 

 

The Katonah Museum of Art is proud to be a grantee of ArtsWestchester with funding made possible by Westchester County government with the support of County Executive George Latimer, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor, and the New York State Legislature.
