By Lavanya Ramanathan (Nov. 2, 2012) “…One by one, the kids, all wearing masks, reach for spray cans, stake out empty corners of wall and begin to add their own bold streaks of marigold yellow, pristine white, cherry red and plummy purple to the eye-catching cacophony of color…” Read the review…

Three lucky young artists got the opportunity to spend the last week of Summer 2012 in Albus Cavus studio. This exclusive art camp allowed them to explore new art techniques and create beautiful works of art. They visited and met some of the most creative artists and scientists in the greater DC area and camped in the woods. More info and photos

Sponsored and hosted by Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum: To help you discover the beautiful and unexplored world of color around us, artist Peter Krsko of the art and design group Albus Cavus leads a workshop that examines the phenomenon of color. What is it and how do we perceive it? Why is a sunset red and a rainbow always the same? To answer these questions, we will look at color from the perspective of an artist, physicist, neuroscientist, and biologist.

On Sunday, November 20, 2011, 2 – 3:30pm in Anacostia Community Museum, Program Room. Free; for reservations, call 202-633-4844
