Art Ways is a children’s gallery and lounge for young visitors looking to put their creative visions to work. In Art Ways, visitors can make art during ArtVentures, embark on a Museum-wide scavenger hunt, try a project at one of the maker stations, and order an art kit at the Art Bar to take home for continued creativity!
Art Ways has a new look thanks to our artist residency with fiber artist Mallory Zondag, whose installation is transforming the entryway to the space into a sensory experience. The installation is called Cocooned, and it begins with black-and-white wool and other mixed textiles that become delightfully more colorful as one moves deeper into the work. When we work together as a society and help one another, the world becomes more colorful and full of life!
Coinciding with our artist residency are workshops led by Mallory Zondag, during which visitors will learn about the scientific properties of fibers and key techniques such as embroidery, weaving, felting, sewing, and more. Workshops will be available through September 2021.
While in Art Ways, stop in the Crayola Classroom to make your own art!
Although the Museum is now open, we are continuing our efforts to keep you connected to the art online.
