Tiverton Library Services and the RI Museum of Science and Art Presents Animation Workshops for Teens

Tiverton Library Services in partnership with the RI Museum of Science and Art presents five workshops this summer at the Tiverton High School Library. These workshops are designed especially for teens, ages 11-18, and participation in the summer reading program is required to attend the workshops.

RI Museum of Science and Art (RIMOSA) a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, is a group of imaginative people committed to a single goal: using Rhode Islands’ rich resources in the arts and sciences to create a distinctive, highly interactive, informal learning center.

RIMOSA’s mission is to awaken curiosity and increase independent thinking, creativity, and innovation in kids 8 and up – and adults, too!  This mission is accomplished by encouraging the exploration of science through art, and art through science, with interactive exhibits, educational programming, performances and participation in music, dance and theatre, informal discussions, and other museum events.
