Hands-on art instruction from local artists.

Memphis Artist Series

Whether it is a coloring sheet added to your refrigerator or a canvas on the wall, there is nothing like displaying your child’s masterpiece in your home. But art goes deeper than that. It helps develop creativity, curiosity, critical thinking and self-confidence.

In addition to the multiple art stations in the Art and Innovation Lab, children can learn from local artists from the Mid-South area through our Memphis Artist Series.

Guest artists design a daily in-house project that is staff-driven. However, there are scheduled dates when the artist will be on campus and can interact with, encourage, teach and inspire children as they complete the project together under the watchful eye of the featured artist.

Featured Artist: Shira Grant through September 13

Students will create flowers from trash to adorn an ever-evolving garden in the Art and Innovation Lab. The fun will culminate on Tuesday, September 9th with a garden party to celebrate this creative upcycled art project.

Shira’s project is available daily, but if you’d like to interact with her, she will be at CMOM on select dates to guide children through the project.

In person date:

• Garden Party, Tuesday, September 9 / 3:30 – 4:30 pm
