Play Day: Sprouting Sculptures

Join us on Free Second Sunday for our free family series, Play Day!


Inspired by the piece Medicine Woman (1993) by Beverly Buchanan, on display in MCASD’s new exhibition For Dear Life: Art, Medicine, and Disability, we will make sculptures using recycled materials, popsicle sticks, clay, and seeds that will blossom into plants.

Art Activity: Create your own sprouting sculpture and learn about the cycles of life.

Schedule:

At 11AM, explore works from MCASD's new exhibition For Dear Life: Art, Medicine, and Disability through a kid friendly tour.
At 12:30PM, listen to stories, songs, and rhymes in Storytime with Librarian on the Go, Ms. Katia Graham
From 11AM-2PM, enjoy music by a local DJ, a cozy book nook, sketching with water, and book recommendations from the Librarian on the Go.
