Family Day at McColl Center is for toddlers, teens, and everyone in between! We invite the whole family to join us for a day of creative fun, with activities inspired by our Fall 2024 Artists-in-Residence and their works. After you’ve made your masterpieces, take a tour of McColl Center to explore what’s on display in our galleries.During Family Day, participants can enjoy the following activities:
- Still Life Paintings: Get inspired by the work of Andrew Leventis, who captures the interiors of everyday spaces like refrigerators, sinks, and luggage in his paintings. Create your own still-life piece, then add an illustrated food item to our collaborative fridge display, contributing to a collective artwork.
- Collaborative Tapestry + Mini-Looms: Work together with other participants to weave a colorful collaborative tapestry inspired by Claire Keister. Then, design your own mini-loom to craft a small take-home tapestry!
- Mini-Monsters: Let your imagination run wild by creating a mini-monster from found objects, inspired by Cathy McClure’s work, which repurposes discarded robotic toys into playful art.
Please note: Some artwork on the third floor contains unclothed figures.
