This summer, TEMPOart collaborated with The Telling Room to offer a Nature: Science, Art & Writing Camp for 16 youth ages 8-12. Through our education partnership, we engaged campers in a dynamic exploration of “Dancing for Joy (By the Will of the People),” an installation at Back Cove in Portland by The Myth Makers, which TEMPOart commissioned.
Lead teaching artist Amy Kimball, who attended a hands-on workshop with The Myth Makers, brought these material skills and inquiry to the program, guiding the campers in activities that combined art, science, and creative writing.
This camp is one example of TEMPOart’s dedication to education and outreach partnerships that engage the community, particularly youth, in our work. By providing opportunities for hands-on learning and creative expression, we aim to inspire the next generation of artists, scientists, and thinkers, fostering a deeper connection to public art and the natural world around them.
