Kathleen Compton Sherrerd Creativity Lab and Laporte Family Creativity Lab
January 14, 2026 10 a.m.–12:30 p.m.

Our series of themed art lessons will engage young minds and hands!

Explore portraits in the galleries and then join us in the Creativity Labs to make your own expressive portrait. How do artists use portraiture to convey identity, narrative, and emotion? We'll experiment with collage and silhouette techniques to create monochromatic portraits. 

All ages are welcome; no tickets or reservations required.
