Speed Together: Explore + Create

Speed Together: Explore + Create 

A monthly Sunday of art, creativity, and self-guided discovery 

Speed Together is a free Sunday program that focuses on ART, both looking at and making. This program offers the opportunity for families, friends, and first-time visitors to enjoy the galleries at their own pace, take advantage of docent-supported learning, or experiment with art materials in our open studios. Look for our welcome table near the Atrium to see what’s happening.

UPDATE: Drawing sessions have been moved to Speed Together. Visitors can now enjoy these live model drawing sessions free of charge. Materials are provided. Drop in and stay as long as you would like.

Art in the Atrium, 1 – 4 PM

Visitors of all ages are invited to make art in our light-filled Atrium. Tables are stocked with the materials you’ll need to create your own work of art inspired by an artist or artwork in the museum. Accessible instructions are provided, and a member of our creative making team is available to support. If you prefer to experiment and make your own thing, be sure to visit our open studio in Art Sparks, or try out both art experiences. Also in the Atrium, drawing sessions with a live model each month, inviting visitors to practice their drawing skills. Our Creative Making team connects the model and props to exhibitions and collections. All materials are provided.

Open Studio, 2 – 4 PM in the Prototype Lab (Art Sparks)

A flexible, drop-in studio experience designed for independent exploration and creative play. Open Studio offers a self-guided environment with accessible materials, optional art prompts, and space to experiment freely- no instruction, no pressure. Whether you’re inspired after exploring the museum, continuing a project, trying something new, or simply looking for a quiet moment of making, our classroom becomes your space to explore, reflect, and create at your own rhythm. All ages are welcome.
