April 27, 2025 / 2:00pm - 4:00pm
With Guest Artist Kristan Woolford
Join us for a family-friendly art workshop as part of the Contemporary Kids program, where kids of all ages can explore their creativity and engage with the themes of contemporary art!
This drop-in event is inspired by Free the Land (2023), the stunning work by Atlanta-born artist Kristan Woolford.
During this workshop, artist Makiko Maekawa, along with Kristan Woolford, will guide young artists in creating their own contemporary art projects. Using a variety of materials like paint, paper, and objects, participants will explore how to express themselves through the lens of kinetic art.
Event Details:
Drop-in format: Doors open at 12 PM, and visitors can start their project any time until 2 PM.
Time to complete: Most participants finish their artwork in 30-45 minutes.
Explore the exhibitions: After completing their projects, kids and families are welcome to explore the exhibitions at their own pace.
This event is open to all ages, so bring the whole family for a creative and meaningful afternoon of art-making.
