An educator kneels down in front of the fountain on the Hirshhorn Museum's plaza, animatedly telling a story to a group of youngsters and their adult caretakers.

Join us for a special after-hours Art Cart to celebrate the Summer Solstice! 

Light up one of the longest days of the year inspired by artist Olafur Eliasson. Artists will look closely at his artwork Your Oceanic Feeling, play with reflective materials, and create their own works of art with light and color! 

Find us in the Lobby and pick up your reflective materials.


Do this at home! Have you ever seen a rainbow? Maybe you’ve noticed one refracted through a glass prism or while playing in a sprinkler on a sunny day. This project will give you the power to make your own rainbow! Create

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.
