The Brant Foundation is pleased to announce Free Arts Day with Dan Colen at The Brant Foundation Art Study Center in Greenwich, CT.
On Saturday, September 20, 2014, The Brant Foundation, Free Arts NYC, and The Department of Homeless Services collaborated to bring 101 homeless children from seven New York City shelters a Free Arts Day with Dan Colen. Each child was paired with a volunteer for the day, beginning with a tour of Colen’s show “Help!” on view at The Brant Foundation. Each child worked on individual and collaborative projects inspired by Colen’s work.

There are no mistakes in art. That’s what attracted me to art many years ago. What I like to do is transform simple materials into an experience that people enjoy. My hope today is that…you’ll learn how to transform simple objects into memorable experiences and that maybe by the end of the afternoon, you’ll consider yourself artists, too.
