Design outside the lines at MakeArt Family Day! Explore the exhibitions with our self-led MakeArt Gallery Games and get hands-on with exciting activations all throughout the museum. From collaborative art-making and toddler tactiles, to interactive storytelling and guest artist instructors–MakeArt Family Day offers creativity for the whole family!

Join MCD this May for a hands-on exploration of Fight and Flight: Crafting a Bay Area Life and Concrete Journals: Anne Hicks Siberell. Celebrate spring with guest artists and all new projects in the newly redesigned MakeArt Gallery—filled with prompts and materials inspired by the local artists of Fight and Flight. Immerse yourself in a Crochet Jam from Ramekon O’Arwisters, celebrate AAPI Heritage Month with Jojo Calligraphy, scribble up a storm with ArtBots, and so much more!

PLUS composer JG Everest creates a springtime Sound Garden in Minnesota Grove—a self-guided, drop-in experience that uses layers of live performance and spatial sound design to activate natural spaces as a means to enhance and remember the way we experience them.

The Grove, just a short walk from MCD, will be laced with a unique outdoor sound installation created through multiple wireless speakers spread along the park’s path, each playing a different part of a piece of music. Be sure to first grab a Sound Garden MakeArt Kit with reflection prompts, a journal, and colored pencils to enhance creative memory-making in the Grove!

All ages welcome—craft your day with the whole family at MCD!
