Create your own pencil drawing to take home while exploring the collection up close. No experience necessary, and all supplies are provided. Open to ages 6 and up (children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult). Space is limited.

Use your own initials and colorful art materials to create a unique work of art to take home. Inspired by the vibrant geometric pieces in the newly reopened African American galleries!
