What’s in the Box?

Our beloved program for preschoolers is back. Meet a work of art, enjoy movement and play, and get your creative juices flowing with activities for 3- to 5-year-olds and their caregivers. Adults and children take a visit to the Museum galleries and then produce unique works of art in our studios as we make connections through stories, art making, movement activities, and gallery play.

In this session get to know Flight of the Butterfly No. 1 (Vol de Papillon) by artist Stanton Macdonald-Wright and make a mixed-media painting that explores color and movement.
