Sensory Sunday Studio: Tissue Paper Lanterns with Shannon Anderson

FREE with museum admission and for members, with advance registration required.

Join us each Sunday for a fun family art-making activity inspired by our current exhibitions. Explore materials, learn new techniques, and meet other community members while enjoying creative time with your family. Each week features a different project designed by MAM Teaching Artists to spark the imagination and encourage conversation in response to artworks on view in museum galleries. This program is for all ages and abilities! Children must be accompanied by an adult caregiver.

Inspired by the exhibition, A Shared Love: Treasures of American Painting (1878-1919) from the Carol and Terry Wall Collection, families will learn collage techniques using mixed-media materials to create a colorful hanging “lantern”!

^{How is Sensory Sunday Studio different?}

• ^{This art-making hour is limited to ten participants at a time, much fewer than our regular Sunday Studio program, and we have additional arts educators and studio assistants on hand.}
• ^{We offer fidgets and noise-canceling headphones that can be borrowed upon request.}
• ^{Low-sensory zones are available for quiet breaks.}
