Family Art Workshop: Drips, Blobs, and Splats
Saturdays & Sundays from Oct. 21-Nov. 5
10 a.m.-12 p.m. & 1-3 p.m.
What do coffee, beets, chocolate, and flowers have to do with art? Join us as we take inspiration from Ed Ruscha’s
art made from “overlooked things.” We’ll experiment by making marks with a multitude of materials in this hands-on, sensory workshop. For families with kids ages 4-6. Register for one session only, as the program will be repeated. Select a date and register here.

In this drop-in space, kids and adults can play with line and light, draw to music, create a shape design, and more. All ages are welcome. Free with museum admission.
