Closing Weekend Celebration: Build a Miniature Monument, Sketch from sculptures, and Docents in the Galleries
Sunday, March 15
1 – 3 pm
Sculpt a mini monument honoring an important person in your life. Enjoy this drop-in hands-on art workshop with guest artist Samantha Dominik. Get inspired by Emma Stebbins’s portraits and use Crayola Model Magic and watercolor paint to create your own small sculpture. Write a plaque: “In 100 years, they will be remembered for…” to go along with your artwork. Drawing paper, pencils, and drawing boards will also be available for sketching from sculptures in the galleries. Docents will be in the galleries to answer questions about the exhibition Emma Stebbins: Carving Out History.
Free
Drop in any time between 1 and 3 pm. All ages welcome. Space is limited, while supplies last. No registration required.
