See how artists bring people to life! Families will explore portraits and figurative works that show emotion, personality, and connection, then make your own expressive art to share your story, your feelings, and what makes you shine. Children ages 5–12 and their grown-ups enjoy a 15-minute spotlight tour followed by a hands-on workshop.

This is a FREE program.

Portraits and Perspectives

Saturday, June 6, 13, and 27 (Registration available May 15)
11 AM – 12:20 PM or 1 – 2:20 PM

Celebrate the art of storytelling as we explore how artists capture people, personality, and imagination through portraiture. This month, we’ll look closely at portraits in our permanent collection or in our Student Exhibition, Portrait Mode: Self-Reflections from Past, Present, and Future, discovering how artists share who someone is in creative and meaningful ways. Inspired by the faces and stories we encounter, families will create their own portrait-inspired artwork that reflects what makes each of us unique.

This is a FREE program.
