PECO Family Jams: Found-Object Sculptures

November 12, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

FREE

Most Art Environments, like Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, are made from materials that probably would have been thrown away. Clarence Schmidt (1897-1978) was an artist who turned his house into a giant artwork. He made it out of old doors and windows in Woodstock, New York. He also made sculptures out of wood, doll parts, tin foil, hubcaps, and whatever else caught his eye. Join us to make Schmidt-inspired sculptures small enough to take home.

Join us for free tours of our fully mosaicked basement at 12:30, 1:30, 2:30, and 3:30 pm. Learn how Schmidt influenced PMG creator Isaiah Zagar at an early age.
