Free Family Sundays: Textures with Modeling Clay

How can we explore materiality to share our perspective? Inspired by Recasting Colonialism: Michelle Erickson Ceramics, young artists will investigate media, textures, and themes to discover innovative ways to express their viewpoints on issues they’re passionate about.

Recasting Colonialism: Michelle Erickson Ceramics is located on the third floor of the Contemporary Wing. Visit the exhibition now through October 1, 2023.
