Join Youth Insights (YI) Leaders for a special Open Studio for Teens! Spilling Over: Painting Color in the 1960s presents paintings from the 1960s and early 1970s that boldly experiment with color, shape, and perception. Learn about the artworks in this exhibition by participating in interactive object tours with YI Leaders. Then head down to the Artspace to delve into a collaborative portrait-making workshop inspired by the work of Spilling Over artist Kay WalkingStick.

FREE. Refreshments and art materials provided. No RSVP required—bring a friend! Tickets will be handed out by an Education staff member in the Museum Lobby on the day of the event.
