Community Outings & Field Trips
Rediscover the joy of creative artistry with Evanston Art Makers Outpost!
Located in the heart of Evanston, our art-focused maker space is more than just a venue—it's a journey of exploration and rejuvenation.
We take immense pride in transforming what's often viewed as "junk" into astonishing art pieces, tapping into a world of creative possibilities.
Artistry from Unexpected Quarters
At AMO, art isn't merely about colors and brushes. We breathe life into objects often deemed as "junk," molding them into narratives of beauty and meaning.
In this endeavor, we hope to nurture an appreciation for the artful potential of waste, promoting sustainable practices within a rich, collaborative environment.
At the heart of AMO is a commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and equity.
Every individual, irrespective of their background, is welcome to join our inclusive space and feel a sense of belonging.
We would love to be the destination for your organization or school’s outing or field trip and welcome participants of any age or capability.
Why Choose AMO?
Accessible Space: Our facility is designed keeping accessibility in mind, ensuring every individual, irrespective of their mobility, finds comfort and ease in expressing their artistic side.
Sustainable Approach: Did you know over 75% of our materials are collected from community members and local businesses, preventing them from ending up in landfills? At AMO, we transform waste into extraordinary artistic masterpieces.
Hands-on Exploration: Get immersed in an engaging learning journey where they both absorb and generate knowledge through art.
Nurturing Space: Our top priority is a nurturing and inclusive environment, ensuring every participant feels cherished and free to explore their creative bounds.
Nature's Classroom: A highlight is our nature walk where makers collect organic elements and discarded items. In our studio, these materials metamorphose into works of art under the guidance of our adept team. This exercise unfurls lessons in creativity, communal resource utilization, teamwork, and a profound connection to the environment.
Personalized Experience: Acknowledging the distinct essence of each class, we meticulously customize our workshops to resonate with participants' aspirations, interests, and educational vision.
Diverse Age Range: AMO works with students ages 6 through high school, and welcomes senior community residents. Depending on the group’s size and age range, we design experiences that are engaging, enlightening, and joyfully hands-on.
Food and Drinks Welcomed: Elevate the experience by bringing in your choice of food and drink for your participants. Alternatively, we offer catering options to suit your needs.
Versatile Event Space: Our venue has hosted a wide range of events from music performances and team-building activities to fundraising events. Like our space, but a field trip isn’t exactly the right fit? Contact us about how our space can work for you.
Experience the Wonder of Repurposing!
Educators: consider planting the seeds of a sustainable future with a field trip to AMO, where every corner brims with creativity and eco-consciousness.
Every lesson, every artwork, nudges our young learners to visualize other possibilities.
Senior Groups/Assisted Living Facilities: why not turn one of your community outings into an art escapade?
Let your residents dive into the world of reusing and repurposing, crafting their unique art pieces.
Imagine the stories they can share—combining memories with materials, creating beautiful collages, or even scrapbooking moments from their rich tapestry of experiences!
By fostering this partnership, we aim to bridge the joy of artistry across generations, strengthening community bonds, and celebrating creative freedom.
With the spirit of rejuvenation, creativity, and teamwork, let's craft memories and masterpieces together.
We'd love to collaborate and even customize a workshop tailored to your community's interests and needs.
