Open Studio to Go

On Saturdays, families with kids of all ages are invited to swing by the Laurie M. Tisch Education Center and pick up an Open Studio To Go Art Kit! We will provide everything you need to explore the galleries and make your own artworks. On your way out, be sure to show us what you created to receive a special Whitney Kids gift. Come back each week for brand new activities and materials!
