Make Yer Own Damn Idol

Despite the fact that the Israelites were blaspheming, making the Golden Calf always seemed like a lot of fun. Tired of waiting for God to reveal Himself? Make your own statue--it only makes sense.

Despite the fact that the Israelites were blaspheming, making the Golden Calf always seemed like a lot of fun. Tired of waiting for God to reveal Himself? Make your own statue--it only makes sense.

MOCA's occasional art workshop for adults, titled "Arts for All", takes a spiritual turn this Wednesday when it asks students to "create shrines for gods and heroes." How you interpret that directive is up to you. What is assured is that you'll receive expert direction by certified Miami-Dade Art Educators.

So instead of letting that existential anger go to waste, channel into something tangible. God will forgive you, we promise. She's pretty cool when it comes down to it.
