Art Cart: Perform with Soft Sculptures
The Art Cart is rolling out for a special surprise program!
What materials can you think of that stretch and squish like skin? At this week’s Art Cart, young artists will learn about artist Senga Nengudi’s soft sculptures and performance through movement, texture exploration, and art making.

Do this at home! Stretch, sway, and dance with your own soft sculpture inspired by artist Senga Nengudi. Instructions here.
