Myrtle Creek Youth Art League

Myrtle Creek Youth Art League Getting youth in the 97457 involved in public art! Hi! We meet most Saturdays at my art studio (Angry Tooth) on Main St in Myrtle Creek.

MC Youth Art League is on a mission to get local kiddos involved in mixing creative expression with community service in the name of public art. To get your kiddo involved, please email [email protected]

Members are aged 8-17. We try to accomplish two things: 1) give kids art instruction so they feel confident expressing themselves in different mediums; 2) get kids involved in creating p

ublic/ community art around town to increase civic pride and engagement. Kids who join Art League need to be prepared to paint. Membership depends on participation. There is no cost-- we are 100% not-for-profit and volunteer run. I want art education to be accessible to every kid. That said, we love snack donations (healthy food please! no single-use drink containers)!! If you would like to donate to MCYAL, please email [email protected]

We do have a dress code: weather appropriate clothing that can get dirty/ covered in non-washable paint. Close-toed shoes only please. My studio is unheated, making a sweatshirt a great idea even in summer. A little about Jennifer Foreman, League advisor: I have a BFA from the Pacific Northwest College of Art and currently teach kindergarten at Tri City Elementary. I've worked as a screenprinter, signpainter, record store clerk and school bus driver before diving into children's education in 2020. My production shop is Angry Tooth, 2145 N Main in Myrtle Creek, OR.

Despite the hot hot heat, Myrtle Creek Youth Art League is at it again! Given the theme "Summerfest," a trio of our brave and sweaty kiddos came up with a parallel universe where animals run vendor booths and picnic while friends (including fishmen!) carouse in the water.

This week we continued our 3-D window merchandising odyssey! We talked about how to use inside and outside decor to make window visuals pop. Our crack team of engineers also assembled Jeff, our new intrepid paint cart. Steve has been retired. RIP Steve. Included: downtime fun with robot costumes in the practice space!

Howdy! Myrtle Creek Youth Art League has been working hard to beautify our little corner of the world but man am I terrible at updating our social media! Apologies for the silence.

Please enjoy these images of MCYAL applying a triumphant Spring Theme to the windows of our local

If you're interested in having your own windows springified, please email [email protected] for scheduling. We are charging $20, with all proceeds going right back into Art League snacks, supplies and a field trip to Ashland's Schneider Museum of Art in June.

Cheers!
