Pancakes, music, Lego towers, clothing, art . . . what do all these things have in common? They are things you can MAKE! Whether you sew, bake, build, invent, tinker, or play, it’s hard to deny the thrill that comes when you can exclaim, “I made that!” Here at the DMA, we whole-heartedly believe in the beauty of creativity, from the visions of the artists whose works fill our galleries to the imagination of the visitors who make the museum come to life. So why not throw a party to make merry over the joy of creativity?
On Sunday, April 7th, we’ll be celebrating the power and delight of making in all its many forms at our FREE Family Festival: MAKE! with an exciting lineup of activities for the entire family. Drop in throughout the day to:
- Climb inside the Artscream Truck’s mobile art gallery
- Enjoy a performance by the L.V. Stockard Middle School Mariachi Pantera de Oro
- Meet award-winning author and illustrator Yuyi Morales
- Giggle and wiggle as ventriloquist Nancy Worcester performs with her furry friends Waco the Weasel and Larry the Crocodile
- Watch artist Natalia Padilla transform the ABCs into extraordinary animal art
- Work with your family and friends to create a community art piece
- And so much more!
Activities are offered in both English and Spanish. Ver el calendario completo en español.
We hope you’ll make it a date and come celebrate with us!
Leah Hanson is the Director of Family, Youth, and School Programs at the DMA.
