Visit our classroom studio for drop-in art making using materials and techniques inspired by art on view. A new project will be introduced each month, and each one generally takes 20 to 30 minutes. Teaching artists introduce projects and materials for you to explore independently as a family. This month, work side by side to create books inspired by the exhibition The Surrealist Book: Tomorrow Lives in Mirrors. You’ll fold and unfold a pocket-size book, and draw mixed characters and animals from your unconscious minds.

This series is designed in collaboration with the Center for Book Arts.

For questions or accommodation requests, email [email protected] or call (212) 708-9805.
