Bring the whole family to enjoy Teaching Artist-led activities in the Museum’s Family Resource Center. In December, reimagine Petra Cortright’s digital painting by drawing sea creatures onto foam printing plates, applying ink in vibrant hues to the plates, then layering their “swimming” forms onto a still-life image to give the artwork a sense of movement and energy. Afterward, enjoy the galleries until 8 pm.
