Outreach & Education

EBCA provides workshops and demonstrations to the local under-served population and the community at large. The annual Studio Tour serves as an excellent opportunity for the public to learn from EBCA artists; there are always a number of demonstrations occurring throughout the Tour weekend at individual studios. In addition, outreach projects have included partnering with organizations such as Balfour facilities, Project Yes, the Lafayette Peach Festival, Legacy High School, Mesa Elementary School and the Association for Community Living.

Outreach and education are primary objectives of EBCA. In the last year alone, EBCA held more than 110 group or individual artist activities reaching approximately 4400 attendees and guests.

10th Anniversary Public Golf Ball Sculpture Project

Golf Ball Bird (displayed at Old Firehouse Art Center)

To get the public involved in our 10th year, EBCA launched a public art project decorating re-cycled golf-balls at community events in 2008.  Young and old decorated recycled golf balls at the Peach Festival, Louisville Street Fair and pARTiculars.

The decorated golf-balls have been assembled by teams of EBCA artists into finished art pieces.  We will display our golf ball sculptures at three preview exhibits during the 10th annual Studio Tour.

Workshops at The Association for Community Living (ACL)

The ACL is an advocacy organization for children and adults with developmental disabilities serving Boulder and Broomfield Counties. Several times a year, EBCA sponsors its member artists to teach art classes at ACL.  This is an enriching experience for ACL's community and EBCA member artists.

Workshops at Balfour Assisted Living

Shrines (instructor: Stephanie Hilvitz)

Every spring, EBCA artists host several workshops for seniors living with Alzheimer's at Balfour Senior Living in Louisville.

In the past we have instructed sessions on watercolor, shrine-making, book arts, clay birds, mosaic, collage and more. Through grants and donnations, EBCA is able to provide a lead instructor and artist assistant for each workshop.

This is a wonderful way that our organization can give back to and be an active part of the community that supports us.

We are setting our 2009 workshop schedule with Balfour. Check back for details.
