Madagascar Institute | Fear is Never Boring

The Madagascar Institute is an art combine in Brooklyn that specializes in large-scale sculptures and rides, live performances, and guerilla art events.

We have an open membership workshop, with monthly and yearly subscriptions. For those of you who want to learn to be ArtStars, or just smell like one, and can not or will not just plunge in and show up and suffer abuse and work, we have classes. To find out about classes, check the current schedule or email the Deans of Madagascar Institute at classes@madagascarinstitute.com.

Take a Class

Pretentious artspeak dragging you down? Looking for something fun and different, without too much commitment? You've come to the right place. Here at Madagascar Institute, we give great art with out the fear of commitment. Our classes are up close and personal, short and cheap. Just like you like them.

Coming up this next Sunday, March 18, learn quick and dirty etching the Mada way. Lindsay will teach you the Hackett-honed art of home etching. In this class you will be able to make a beautiful, brag-worthy etching on a steal or brass plate with household materials and high school chemistry.

And if you just came for the welding, well we've got that too. Tabitha is teaching intro to MIG welding the following Saturday, March 24. If you haven't been down to the shop lately, we have a new MIG welder. Come use it.

Go to our classes page to sign up through eventbrite.
