Art Activities

  • Studio: That Drawing is Me

As artists often do, creatively express your feelings and draw on a collaborative and interactive drawing wall with artist Shoshanna Utchenik.

  • Studio: Together Tower

Inspired by Gordon Matta-Clark’s process of altering standing buildings or houses, build a structure that is partly dependent on someone else’s ideas with artist Alex Chitty.

  • Studio: Cube Creation

Inspired by the cube shape in many Language of Less artworks, work with artist Cheryl Pope to explore the possibilities of what one shape can create by building only with sugar cubes.

  • Studio: Loop by Loop

Inspired by the net structure of Leonore Antunes’ walk around there, look through here, link fabric loops with artist Tanya Fleisher as you create a sculpture that can wrap around you, perhaps like a blanket.

  • Scavenger Hunt

Use picture clues to find six artworks. Once your search is complete, stop by one of the registration tables to claim your prize.

  • Look & Learn
  • Designated start times. Sign up at the registration tables.
