Upcoming Events
Family Day
Saturday, November 9, 2024
10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Free
Family Day at McColl Center is for toddlers, teens, and everyone in between! We invite the whole family to join in on a day of making art inspired by the current exhibitions and artists. After you create your work, take a tour of McColl Center to see what’s in the galleries!
Explore the latest creations by the studio artists and meet our current Artists-in-Residence. It’s a day of art, discovery, and family fun for all ages.
Free activities include:
- Still Life Paintings: Get inspired by the work of Andrew Leventis, who captures the interiors of everyday spaces like refrigerators, sinks, and luggage in his paintings. Create your own still-life piece, then add an illustrated food item to our collaborative fridge display, contributing to a collective artwork.
- Collaborative Tapestry + Mini-Looms: Work together with other participants to weave a colorful collaborative tapestry inspired by Claire Keister. Then, design your own mini-loom to craft a small take-home tapestry!
- Mini-Monsters: Let your imagination run wild by creating a mini-monster from found objects, inspired by Cathy McClure’s work, which repurposes discarded robotic toys into playful art.
Please note that some artwork on the third floor contains unclothed figures.
