Art Making

Art for Families: African Masks

Kathleen Compton Sherrerd Creativity Lab and Laporte Family Creativity Lab
January 17, 2026 10 a.m.–1 p.m.

Saturdays are for young makers in the Creativity Labs! 

Drop in anytime between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. to explore a work of art, play with different materials, and exercise your imagination. Come for fifteen minutes or two hours—whatever your schedule allows. All ages are welcome; no tickets or reservations required.


Explore shapes, materials, and texture to create your own mask inspired by object from the Museum's collections of African art. We provide the materials, you bring the creativity!
