July 18, 2026 10 a.m.–1 p.m.

Saturdays are for young makers in the Creativity Labs!

Inspired by calligraphy on view in the galleries of Asian art, young makers can explore brushstrokes and writing using watercolors. We provide the materials, you bring the creativity! 

Visit us any time between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. to explore a work of art, play with different materials, and exercise your imagination. No tickets or registration required—just drop in as your schedule allows! All ages are welcome; children must be accompanied by an adult.
