Visitors of all ages are invited to come by the Bubbler Room and work with TetraPAKMAN on engaging, tactile art-making out of recycled materials. Whether we’re building a large-scale, community-generated social sculpture or creating the unthinkable through cardboard construction we need your help!

Some of his ongoing projects include painting bedsheets for a upcoming installation, creating messages out of old keyboard keys or using everyday objects like lids, boxes, and twist-ties to make larger than life sculpture forms.

Many of TetraPAKMAN’s projects scale up or down based on age and timeframe — so come by for 5 minutes, an hour, or more and we will be Doing Something. We’d love your creative additions as he works to transform the Bubbler Room at Central Library!

TetraPAKMAN’s practice is focused on community-generated social sculpture projects. His work is about the future, and the challenges we face today as a community.

Master Naturalist Alex Singer will demonstrate making a mini-greenhouse, introduce various plant species (seeds of which he's generously sharing), and share useful resources for identifying seeds.  Then, make your own mini-greenhouse using tools and seeds provided.  Bring an empty milk jug, clear juice bottle, or water jug.

Small quantities of seeds will be available to take home in addition to those used in the mini-greenhouses.
