No Longer Empty

No Longer Bored is a Saturday afternoon art-making workshop designed for children and families to discover and explore NLE art exhibitions though activities centered on inquiry, reflection, participation and creative interpretations of public art. Together, children and families explore our model of community-responsive public art through guidance from artists, teen docents and curators and educators. No Longer Bored distributes interpretive materials, scavenger hunts, zines and neighborhood guides that foster public art and community appreciation. To date, No Longer Bored Family Day activities have included 22 workshops with 30 local and visiting artists, reaching 440 children and their families, many whom live within walking distance from our exhibition sites. Special access accommodations are made for children with special needs, following our inclusion model enabling access for participants of all abilities.
