Family Saturdays 2023 at Tang Teaching Museum
June 24 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College announces its series of popular, fun, educational Family Saturdays for the summer will be on June 24, July 29, August 12, and August 26. The programs foster multigenerational creative cooperation through looking at artwork, discussing it, and engaging in a hands-on art-making activity.
The programs, which are free and open to the public, run from 2 to 3:30 pm. They are suitable for children age 5 and older, accompanied by their adult companions. No registration required; supplies provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
The first summer Family Saturday takes place June 24 at 2 pm with a program called Family Saturday: Bead Broadcast. Led by Njeri Jennings, the Laurie M. Tisch Educator for K-12 and Community Programs at the Tang Teaching Museum, participants will view works by Christine Sun Kim: Oh Me Oh My, whose art engages with different modes of visual communication, and then use perler beads to create pie charts and echos reflecting on how they communicate.
Future Family Saturdays will be July 29, August 12, and August 26.
