10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
South parking lot of the museum
A fully equipped glass blowing studio, set up outside the museum, offers both education and entertainment. The experience includes a complete glassblowing demonstration, with highly skilled artists working with molten glass while a trained commentator explains the art and science of glass and answers questions. A state-of-the-art audio-visual system enhances the interactive and educational experience. The audience shares in this right-before-your-very-eyes creative process, holding a collective breath as molten glass is transformed into a work of art.
On Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. there will be an encore performance of the specially-commissioned dance program called Reflections of Lino. Conceived by the Coachella Valley Repertory, this music and dance performance pays homage to glass artist Lino Tagliapietra, who’s work is on display at the museum through December 27, 2009. For more information about the Lino Tagliapietra exhibition, click here.

their expertise is classes concentrating on painting (in oils, watercolor or acrylics, with special classes available in landscape, portraiture, still life, and "seeing light"), drawing, printmaking, assemblage, pastels, sculpture, and some "outside the box" specialties.
