Join us Saturday, August 3, at 2 pm, for Family Saturday: Whale Fossils! After visiting and discussing the found objects that comprise Mark Dion’s installation Trichechus manatus latirostris, which is part of Mark Dion and Alexis Rockman: Journey to Nature’s Underworld! , participants will create their own whale fossils using air-dry clay and uncooked beans.
Family Saturday programs foster multigenerational creative cooperation through looking at artwork, discussing it, and engaging in a hands-on art-making activity. Programs run from 2-3:30 pm and include a tour of selected works. All programs are free and open to the public, and suitable for children age 5 and older, accompanied by their adult companions. No registration required; supplies provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
