Family Day: Coming into Character

About

Shared art experiences. New every time.

Inspired by artist Jim Nutt, invent imaginary characters and create portraits and stories to tell others about them.

Activities

  • Creation Station: Lively Lines

Inspired by Jim Nutt, who starts each work with a line, paint lines of all sorts with artist Katie Waugh.

  • Creation Station: Project Pro-ject

Similar to artist Enrico Baj, use shapes found in everyday objects to construct characters. Join artist Alex Chitty as you project your creations onto the walls of the museum. 

  • Creation Station: Make a Nutty Face

Working in a playful way, much like Jim Nutt, transform your face into an imaginary person with artist Kristin Sabatino.

  • Creation Station: Sticker Self Portrait

Inspired by Jim Nutt's painting, Miss T. Garmint (she pants a lot), create a self-portrait out of objects with artist Annie Heckman.

  • Look & Learn

Explore the exhibition Jim Nutt: Coming Into Character, and talk about the artwork and your ideas with artist Rachel Harper.
