Free Family Sundays: Baltimore Summer on Your Street

Meet us in the new Joseph Education Center Studio to make a collage inspired by Tom Miller’s screenprint Summer in Baltimore, on view now in the Contemporary Wing.

Get inspired by bold colors, patterns, and overlapping shapes to create your own scene of Baltimore. This program will be led by BMA Teaching Assistant Kim Tyson.

Free Family Sundays is a drop-in, art-making workshop designed for families with children ages 6 to 9 years old.
