MAD invites NYC educators to join us for a workshop in connection with The Mad MAD World of Jonathan Adler. This program will begin with a curator-led tour of the exhibition followed by an artmaking workshop with artist and educator Rachel Gisela Cohen. Using collaged fabric, participants will create artworks illustrating their dream artist’s studio or creative sanctuary. Join us for a fun day connecting with fellow teachers, experimenting with new artmaking techniques, and generating new ideas to bring back to your classroom!
