Holi Workshop at New Brunswick’s Henry Guest House

The Mason Gross School of the Arts Extension Division, which offers arts instruction to the Central New Jersey community, is co-sponsoring a free visual arts workshop for New Brunswick-area children and teens in grades 3- 8.

The Extension Division is offering the workshop in conjunction with the New Brunswick Free Public Library and a Rutgers University student organization called Community Perspectives. 

Holi Color Celebration takes place 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 16, in the library’s Henry Guest House, at 58 Livingston Ave.

Young artists use paint and collage to celebrate Holi, an exuberant festival of colors that celebrates the coming of spring, usually in March. The workshop also will allow participants to explore color relationships, multicultural patterns and color symbolism. Mason Gross Extension Division faculty members will lead the workshop.

Holi is meant to be a festival that unites people. Meeting and greeting friends and relatives and exchanging sweets and gifts are integral parts of the celebration.

Participants may drop in any time between 1 and 3 p.m., but event registration is recommended. Please register by clicking here. For more information about this event, contact Camille Thompson at (732) 745-5108, ext. 20, email thompson@lmxac.org, or visit www.nbfpl.org.
