Art Cart: Weave with Color

Play with colors and patterns! Create and get inspired by artist Anni Albers at this week’s Art Cart. Young artists will take a close look at Albers’s work Under Way. Then they can collage or weave their own layered work of art!

Find the Art Cart on the Lower Level and pick up your colorful materials.

Do this at home! Create a woven artwork with scrap fabric inspired by artist Anni Albers. Instructions here. 

Three small, square woven pieces sit on a white surface.

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 art-making 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. One to two weeks’ advance notice is recommended but not required.
