True Play Makers
*In Alicia Ashman Library
Tuesday, Oct 1, 2024, 10:30am to 12:00pm
October is the Month of The Play Makers at the Alicia Ashman Library! In this 5 week program, children will engage in self-directed play for the whole time while the adults will start each week with a quick tutorial on how to bring more opportunities for True Play into their daily life, then spend time deeply observing the play that's happening. Register for this special series if you're curious about True Play (or Anji Play) or if you've ever wished that your child would play more independently or if you've ever felt awkward around other caregivers at the playground or if you're interested in learning how to host a relaxed playdate in your own home! Everyone will remain in the same room throughout this program (no separation anxiety!). Sign up to save your spot!

Doing Something! with Artist-in-Residence TetraPAKMAN
Tuesday, Oct 1, 2024, 5:00pm to 7:00pm
Visitors of all ages are invited to come by the Bubbler Room and work with TetraPAKMAN on engaging, tactile art-making out of recycled materials. Whether we’re building a large-scale, community-generated social sculpture or creating the unthinkable through cardboard construction we need your help!
Some of his ongoing projects include painting bedsheets for a upcoming installation, creating messages out of old keyboard keys or using everyday objects like lids, boxes, and twist-ties to make larger than life sculpture forms.
Many of TetraPAKMAN’s projects scale up or down based on age and timeframe — so come by for 5 minutes, an hour, or more and we will be Doing Something. We’d love your creative additions as he works to transform the Bubbler Room at Central Library!
About the Artist: TetraPAKMAN is a Madison-based artist who has long considered concepts around conservation, and often creates using repurposed/recycled materials. TetraPAKMAN’s practice is focused on community-generated social sculpture projects. His work is about the future, and the challenges we face today as a community. He explores the role of art as a mechanism to generate awareness about the climate crisis.
