Open Artist Studio

Space: Seahorse Classroom

Join Children’s Museum of the Arts every Monday and Thursday for hands-on art projects with CMA’s Artists in Residence. Recommended for children in grades 3-5.

Words have been used in almost every artistic medium as a way for artists to speak directly to viewers. Children will take inspiration from artists Jaune Quick-to-See Smith and Glenn Ligon, whose use of words in their artworks provoke discussion and contemplation of who we are individually and as a society. Choose from cutout letters from newspapers and magazines or draw your own words to make verbally and visually impactful creations.
