October 18 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Celebrate the intersection of fashion and sculpture at this free, family-friendly event inspired by AMFA’s groundbreaking new exhibition, Architects of Being. This is where your personal identity and creative expression are welcome to shine!
OUTSIDE
Head to the Event Lawn and watch a free performance of Flurffy’s Tales for Sale at 11:00 a.m. or 12:00 p.m. While you are there, construct paper artworks in the play zone.
INSIDE
Make your own jewelry, snap a selfie in the photo booth, and dance to beat of a live DJ in the Atrium.
Then, explore studio spaces in the Windgate Art School for even more art-making activities:
- Create assemblage sculptures in the Flex Studio
- Make buttons and 3D printing pens in the Drawing Studio
- Produce colorful prints using LEGO in the Ceramics Studio
If you need a calm space to relax during the event, the Governor Winthrop Rockefeller Lecture Hall is available as a designated quiet room.
