Pop Art Collage Workshop with Michael Albert (all ages)
2023-08-07 15:30 - 17:30 UTC | Pittsfield Public Library, 110 Library St, Pittsfield, ME, 04967, United States
New York collage artist Michael Albert (https://www.michaelalbert.com/) currently lives and works in White Plains, New York. Mr. Albert is nationally known for making collage artworks from cereal boxes and other printed cardboard consumer brand packages. His work has been described as across between Pop Art, Cubism & Recycling.

Albert’s Frosted Flakes Box Collage was his official beginning as a Modern Pop Artist back in 1996. He calls that collage, ‘The Birth of Cerealism’! Since that breakthrough creation, he has created over 700 collages from cereal boxes, and thousands more with different themes, all artworks using the same everyday materials. He says that his true goal is to create a masterpiece worthy of hanging in a major museum.

He will be bringing his nationally renowned “Modern Pop Art Experience” Art Programs to Pittsfield on August 7. He has been running this program for over a decade and has brought it to over 1,000 libraries, museums, arts events and schools in 43 states.

Mr. Albert will introduce himself to the group, show examples of his works and tell the group about the project they are about to do: a HANDS-ON COLLAGE WORKSHOP where the participants get to create their own collages using the same materials he uses to create his own works of art. The 2-hour program finishes with a FREE POSTER GIVEAWAY & SIGNING – Mr. Albert brings about 20 different prints for each participant to choose from as a special gift for coming to the event.

This is a free, family-friendly event open to the public. Limited to the first 45 individuals; you may reserve a space at the library prior to the event to guarantee participation.
