For the Frank Stella Family Day on November 7, artist McKendree Key created a large scale marble run that families could interact with.

Families were able to add their own pieces of art to the ramp. Some made small sketches, others made 3D works, and many just used tape to decorate the marble run.

Families could also go on tours of the Frank Stella: A Retrospective exhibition. Many kids and adults really enjoyed the program. Some of the kids did not even want to leave!

Families returned to the marble run after their tours, while others did not even go on the tours. It was an awesome day of fun for everyone who attended!
