Chinati Foundation
Does art have to tell a story? Can artwork be a simple line or a single word? Or perhaps art is a bunch of complex thoughts and marks or even sounds? Chinati wants to know! Materials for Chinati activities will be distributed Thursday, May 28, 9 - 10:00 am in front of the school cafeteria. The Chinati Foundation will post new content every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday throughout Camp Summer Shakeup.
