Art Cart: Paint the Plaza
May 18, 2024 | 10:00 am–1:00 pm
Due to inclement weather, the Art Cart will be inside the Museum on the Third Level. Join us to explore and create inspired by Mark Bradford’s work. We will paint the plaza another day when the sun is shining!
Beat the heat with a water-inspired Art Cart! Young artists will explore the properties of water, explore how artists use water in their art, and use water to paint their own work of art on the Hirshhorn Plaza.
Find the Art Cart on the Plaza near the fountain. In case of inclement weather, check in the Museum Lobby for our indoor locations.
Make art at home! Explore how artist Jiha Moon paints water and make your own mixed-media work. Instructions here.
ABOUT THE ART CART
Want to make art inspired by your favorite Hirshhorn works on view? The Art Cart offers young artists a hands-on maker experience during their visit to the Hirshhorn. Each week’s Art Cart offers a fresh and fun theme featuring an artwork on view, an artmaking activity to do at the Museum, and kids projects to extend the fun at home!
The Art Cart is free; no registration required. Drop in any Saturday between 10 am and 1 pm.
Nursing caregivers are welcome. Stroller parking is available in the Hirshhorn Lobby. If there are access services or accommodations that can make your experience more inclusive (e.g., ASL interpretation, live captioning, etc.), please contact hmsgeducation@si.edu. 1-2 week’s advance notice is recommended but not required.
