Art Cart: Portrait Party
May 25, 2024 | 10:00 am–1:00 pm
Join the party and make a portrait inspired by Aliza Nisenbaum! Artists will create collaborative works inspired by her painting Mis Cuatro Gracias (Brendan, Camilo, Carlos, Jorge) featured in Revolutions: Art from the Hirshhorn Collection, 1860–1960. Nisenbaum makes colorful portraits that celebrate people!
Find the Art Cart on the Plaza. In case of inclement weather, check in the Museum Lobby for our indoor locations.
Do this at home! Assemble a colorful self-portrait inspired by Niki de Saint Phalle’s Pink Lady. Use your favorite art materials and objects to show the colors, shapes, textures, and lines that represent you! 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.
