Play Day: Sprouting Sculptures
October 13, 2024 at 11:00 am
Free
Bring the entire family to Play Day at MCASD this month on Free Second Sunday for our free family series, Play Day!
Inspired by the found-object piece in For Dear Life: Art, Medicine, and Disability, Medicine Woman (1993) by Beverly Buchanan, 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.
- 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, Ms. Katia Graham. Also, participate in a communal art project on McGrath Terrace with compost collective Humble Servants of the Worm and explore how compost fertilizes and affirms our relationships with putrefaction, waste, death, and grief as part of the cycle of life.
- At 12:30PM, listen to stories, songs, and rhymes in Storytime with Librarian on the Go.
*Museum admission is free from 11AM – 5PM for all visitors, with Play Day offerings happening between 11AM – 2PM.
No RSVPs are required for Play Day admission.
