Free Family Sundays: Make a Mini Playground

Join us in Fox Court as we bring a Free Family Sundays at Home project to life. In this workshop led by teaching artist Kim Tyson, families will learn to make a miniature playground sculpture inspired by Mark di Suvero’s Sister Lu, on view in the BMA Sculpture Garden. Use bright colored paper to create a playful, miniature world of wonder.

Free Family Sundays is a drop-in art-making workshop for families with children ages 6–9 or older.
