Neighbors of Home Portrait Making - 10am

Neighbors of Home Portrait Making: Create a portrait of someone who reminds you of home, inspired by those featured in our inaugural photography exhibition, New York Now: Home – A Photography Triennial.

When: Saturday, August 12, 2023. Register for 10am

Where: Museum of the City of New York

The Museum of the City of New York invites children ages 5-12 to our hands-on art making series, Art in the City. Lifting the range of materials used by artists in our centennial show, This is New York: 100 Years of the City in Art and Pop Culture, each session will introduce children to a different art form/medium, including mosaics, landscape painting, felt collage, and more. Through independent and collaborative material exploration, children will be able to build a personal connection to the observant and playful ways artists visualize stories of New York City. 
This art-making series is  free with museum admission and geared towards children ages 5-12. Museum admission is by suggested donation for adults and free for ages 19 and under. Participating children must be accompanied by an adult. No previous art-making experience is necessary. All materials will be provided. 

Pre-registration is strongly recommended and can be completed using the registration links above. Registrants will receive a reminder email about the event.
