Pop Art with Michael Albert

Meet American Pop Artist & Author Michael Albert!
Mr. Albert was born & raised on Long Island in New York and is currently based in White Plains, New York. Albert is the author of an artist autobiography titled, “An Artist’s America” (Henry Holt, 2008) and is nationally known for making art from Cereal boxes & other printed cardboard consumer brand packages.
He will be bringing his nationally renowned “Modern Pop Art Experience” Art programs to the Selbyville Public Library!
He has been running this program for over a decade & has brought it to over 1,000 libraries, museums, arts events & schools in 40 states! After a year hiatus (due to COVID), this Summer he will be visiting over 50 libraries & other arts venues in 12 states with his in-person art programs from June-August. He is honored to be bringing the program to every library in the State of Delaware!
The “Modern Pop Art Experience” in-person workshop, includes a Meet & Greet with Michael Albert, Artist Talk & Presentation, and a HANDS-ON COLLAGE WORKSHOP where the participants get to create their own collages using the same materials he uses to create his serious works of art, and finishes with a FREE POSTER GIVEAWAY & SIGNING - Mr. Albert brings about 20 different prints (which he has self-published in limited quantities) for the each participant to choose from as a special gift for coming to the event.
